Another $1 Earned!





It was intense.

It was fast.

The guys were playing with all they had.

#28 was center ice and open.

A beautiful pass.

Received.

Mom is holding her breath

He shoots !

Flies right past the goalie !

Point for home team!

Another Dollar from Dad!

Two Grandpas saw it.

Two uncles saw it.

Mom saw it.

#28 seems to score when Dad is not there!
What's this?

The game stops for a moment.

#28 is going to the penalty box.

His cheering squad and family are woohooing.

What did he do?
We have no idea. We'll find out later. Dad doesn't pay up for penalties. Too easy to get in the penalty box, he says. The Uncles and Grandpas boo that call. If you know #28, he is not proud of the penalty. He plays by the rules and sticks to the rules. The last 5 seconds of the game. #28 receives a pass, there is a frenzy...he is lined up with the goal. He shoots. A lot of commotion. Ref has to go to the goal. They can't find the puck... Bummer it bounced on the pole and is wedged in the goalie's pads...no score.

His most exciting event..the one he likes to talk about the most...The 5 second shot!

Afterwards we ask about the penalty. It was for tripping. The player...The biggest kid on the team. Amazon 10 yr. old vs. 50 pound #28. (#28 is shoulder height to Amazon player) That got a laugh. Coach told him it was a bad call. Amazon player jumped his stick and then fell.
Ah well, a good night for all the family turned out to watch.
