At the Blue Line


Here's cousin Grace (number 20) after the other team iced the puck at their Saturday night game. While on Friday night Grace scored two goals in her team's 5-0 victory, the Saturday night team was fast and a bit chippy. Grace's team was shut out 4-0.

With a 12 girl traveling squad, and playing a full Olympic sized ice sheet, they skated their hearts out and legs off. Interesting fact, three of the 12 girls are triplets!

I was impressed by how Grace skated off two hooks by the other team. But to no avail, no penalties were called. She also did a good job working the puck down the ice not only through traffic, but also along the boards.

We don't know, but we think Grace's team came the farthest for this tournament. One family's airline tickets fell through, so they drove from Denver to Toronto. Yikes!

The other teams were no help answering this question. Most wondered if Colorado was a town in Northern Ontario. In their defense all I can say it that they weren't there for a geography competition.
