More hockey. It's winter in Canada after all.
JJ's team had their home tournament yesterday, a one day event that had them playing three games. They won two, lost one, and finished in 3rd place. The team that they lost to was really really strong: good size with excellent skaters and stickhandlers.

JJ had a tumble in the first game. I like how the ice/snow kicks up. |
|
The goalie led the celebration after the first win. |
|
The boys were a bit over-powered in the second game with much action around their net. |
|
Goal for the other team |
|
Despite being very busy in that game, the goalie enjoyed a relaxing moment with the puck in the other zone. |
|
Third Game: and a chance to drive the play more. |
|
When the referee points like that, it's a goal. And the players' stick are raised in celebration. They scored a lot and won handily. |
|
Traditionally, there is a team photo on the ice after winning the final game of a tournament, but there was a bit of a mix-up, so I was asked to take one in the small dressing room. With a long lens it was difficult to get back far enough to get the whole team in. Ironically, it is my own grandson who was cut off on the right. |
|
But I did get this photo of JJ all alone but still in action. |

Great photos. Really well done. What fun.
I was wondering where JJ had gone! Although I did recognise him in the end. Well, the visible part anyway.
Go JJ! I'm impressed with anyone who can skate, let alone play hockey.
Excellent action shots!
I never picked up learning how to skate.
This is one crazy and wild sport. My daughter is a good friend of Dave Schultz's sons' wife...if that means anything. That is as close as I can get to what is happening here.
Great photos, AC. The last one is my favourite.
great final shot of your grandson. I imagine you are having as much fun as the players, and don't have to be on the ice.
