We interrupt this NYC Trip blog

with a hockey update...

Duluth Icebreakers 10U team went to Breezy Point and rocked the house. They played the Pequot Lakes 10U team on Saturday at Noon. You may remember (or you can read below in Tis the Season) that there was some conflict regarding what level Hockey Girs team should play at - A or B. The Pequot Lakes team was a B level - and any doubts about whether we should play A were answered this weekend. The girls smoked them. They won their first game 12 - 0. Hockey Girl didn't score, but she had plenty of assists. They then went to Brainard to play their 10UB team and they beat them 19 - 1. Hockey Girl scored her 1st goal of the year. Saturday night we had much fun hanging out with the team at the pool area of the beautiful Breezy Point Resort. We had lots of snacks, pizza and a few drinks to boot. Most of the team stayed at the dorms by the hockey rink, but Hockey Girl and her BFF were having none of that (and their parents were glad to spoil them if meant we also didn't have to stay in the dorms). Our families rented a beautiful condo by the lake. It was huge and lovely and since no one wants to be in Breezy Point in mid-November quite inexpensive to boot. Sunday we woke up early because we'd been lead to believe we had a game at 9:15 a.m. We had a great breakfast at the resort - cooked to order French Toast for the kids, Eggs Benedict for Curling Man and BFF's Mom and poched eggs for me along with a lovely buffet with a lot of fresh fruit and plenty of unhealthy side-dishes. We made it to the rink about 8:30 only to discover that the game wasn't actually until 11 a.m.. The girls went back over to the dorms to do some warm-ups and chalk-talk. BFF's Mom and I went back to the condo to pack up and check out. We returned to the rink for game 2 against Pequot Lakes. They again beat them handily 12 -1 and Hockey Girl scored 2 more times. It was a fun series of games. We just hope the girls don't get too complacent because the competition in the tournament coming up in a couple of weeks in Thunder Bay will be much stiffer.

It is fun to hear about your kids' sports experiences. I'm looking forward to hearing about the games when the scores might be a little closer!
