September 15th, 2013
Drew's hockey team started out the season with a scrimmage
against the Saginaw Badgers in Saginaw on Sunday, September 15th. Tara & I were
forced to split up for today's game, and I wound up going to Samantha's soccer
game while she got Drew's hockey game. After spending some time tailgating with
other players and parents before the game, they headed inside to prepare. From
what I gathered, there wasn't enough preparation in the world that could have
prepared the team for what was about to hit them. I got updates that went
something like this... 4-0, 5-0, 6-0, then a little break before 11-0 and
finally 14-0. Somewhere in that stretch she missed a goal by the Storm team that
both Drew and Tyler reminded her of. I believe that the scoreboard ended up
reading 6-1 because they stopped keeping track as things got out of hand. It was
a good learning experience for the kids, and now they have an idea of just how
far they have to go.
Although Drew will normally wear #29 this season, he is
wearing #3 for today's scrimmage as we await the delivery of new jersey's.
