Ice Breaker Women's Hockey Tournament

This weekend my hockey team, the Salt Lake Black Diamonds, had a hockey tournament in Ogden. We played the Boise Wildfire first on Friday night and tied 3-3. I scored a goal too! Well, technically it was an own goal by the other team because it hit her skate and went in, but hey, it counts. Brittany, Sue, Paul (aka PTM), and my friend Dave from softball came to watch the game which was so much fun. Then B, S, PTM and I went to dinner at TGIF's. It's kind of become a tradition to go there with Paul after Ogden games and I love it!

We beat the Park City Predators 5-2 in the second game. And the third game...well that was an exciting one. We were winning 2-1 against the U-18 Lady Grizzlies. Then they scored 2 more, making the score 3-2 them. The second period went by with no goals. The clock kept ticking in the third period and still no goals. We had to win this game if we wanted any chance of being in the championship. Then, with just over 4 mninutes to play we started going crazy. We scored 3 goals in .50 seconds!! A fourth goal made the final score 6-3. So exciting! Luckily we won by so many goals because we found out later that we had to have won by 2 in order to be in the championship game.

Sunday we lost pretty bad to the Ketchum 5-Stars. They were actually a really good team, but on top of that the officiating was absolutely horrendous! We had someone in the box for most of the game, and the other team? Nothing. Maybe a couple of times. Oh well, now we have a lot of things to work on for next season.

I LOVE HOCKEY!!

Some girl hit me and apparently Lori didn't think that was very nice and let her know it...
