I know its North Carolina and they have trouble finding scorekeepers for the games, but seriously. We're losing 5-3 with 50 seconds left, team yells at me to come to the bench and the other team scores with 10 seconds left. I look at the scoresheet later that night (Pointstreak on line) and I've been tagged with goal #6. Hey lady scorekeeper, I'm not on the ICE, its called an EMPTY NET GOAL...

Thanks to a post on the parents forum I found out the proper way to size a goalie stick. Based on the video my son's 21 inch paddle is too short and he probably needs a 23 inch paddle.

At the same time I looked at jis pads and his knee is getting towards the top of the cradle. He can make it through the Spring season but come fall he will need new pads.

My son had his first in house game for the Spring season and got the win 3-2. He was up 2-0 going into the 3rd but gave up 2 goals. One of them he got caught down on the ice and the other he says he thought he had but it got by him. He was able to stop a break away with 4 minutes left from one of the better players. With 2:30 left his team took a tripping penalty was they were able to score a short handed goal for the win. Not a ton of shots but a good game

My son has always been ...

As some of you may or may not know, I wound up pulling the trigger last weekend on a shiny new pair of Bauer One80 skates to replace my aging CCM 452 Tacks. I really liked the feel of the skates in store, had the yellow SuperFeet insoles added for additional support, and had the skates baked to try and take advantage of the moldable boot.

My plan is to get them on the ice tomorrow night in my teams first of two guaranteed playoff games. Normally, I wouldn't make a change like that ...
