The final game of Drew's long day took place against the
Kings. Drew was playing a pretty good game once again, and the team was doing OK
overall. The score was 13-2 with about six minutes left when Drew fell hard to
the ice, landing on his knee. I sat in the stands saying he was fine, but he
wasn't wanting to get up. The coaches and his godfather, Jeff, helped him off
the ice and into the locker room. I headed that way to check on him, and while
he had a pretty big red spot on his knee he was indeed fine. He said that a
player from the other team knocked him down, but I guess I missed the actual act
and just saw him down on the ice. Since the game was nearly over we decided
there was no since in putting his shin guard, sock, and skate back on and
instead decided to call it a day. We got him undressed and out of the locker
room before the mad rush of players and parents came in, but he stuck around
long enough to get the free chocolate milk that the kids got after each two game
session!
Overall Drew had a lot of fun today, despite the rough
scores. As I said, it shows us how far we have to go as a team, so it is a good
lesson for all involved.
