Drew's hockey team hasn't played a game since the 4th of
January, and they looked a little out of sync today. They played decent in the
first period, after which they trailed by a 1-0 score. The opening of the second
period went totally against them, and they fell behind by four goals quickly.
That seemed to deflate the team, and they appeared to spend more time watching
the other team handle the puck than they did challenging for it. It wasn't until
midway through the third period that Drew really seemed to take off, going after
the puck when an opponent had it, and taking good, hard shots on goal. He had a
semi-breakaway attempt that wound up going wide and hitting the boards, another
shot that the goalie was able to save, and a wrap-around attempt that was
oh-so-close. Finally, with about two minutes left, Drew managed to slip a shot
past the goalie for his first goal of the season! Although it wasn't anywhere
near enough to get his team a victory, it was a sweet moment! Back to the
game... that ended in a 9-1 defeat for the Storm team.
