One nice tradition they have is at the end of the game they choose an MVP this Sunday, Kelly and Charlie were both chosen as MVP in their respective games. Kelly in the U14 game scored three goals and played fabulous defense. (her game was at 6 am)
I almost didn't attend Charlie's late afternoon game because how many hours can you really sit in an ice rink? However at the last minute I went along and was glad to not have missed it! In his previous games Charlie really just skated around and wasn't in the mix very often, it was exciting if the puck came somewhere near him.
Sunday however was a different story, he said he was going "jet speed" and he figured out he could be part of it all. Fortunately for me, some parent taped the entire game and put it on youtube... skip to minute 49 and watch for #2, with red socks...you'll see Charlie score his first goal- so exciting! If you skip ahead to 1:04:14 you'll see him get chosen as MVP for the game and he has his helmet off so you can see his face!

So I don't get in too much trouble with Katie (we are trying to get her to switch to hockey and hang up her figure skates)...she had a few good school successes recently. She participated in a kids literature quiz and her team won second. She was hoping they could win first and go to the South African Championships. If they had won that it would have meant a trip to the US to the world championships in Connecticut. Greg and his trivia team would have felt right at home in the Lit Quiz! Her other competition was a math one and again she came out on top...her prize was a new calculator...her she is with her prize.
