Somerset Tournament

We headed off recently to the town of Somerset for our first Hockey competition where Chuck decided that he was going to play GOALIE!!!!! Now he must have been okay with this, but his mother just about had a nervous BREAKDOWN in the championship game. We were playing for 1st or 2nd and the opposing team was making a lot of shots on goal, each time my heart just about jumping out of my throat. Chuck's nerves are much better than his mothers because he made outstanding saves and because of him they won the championship!! Literally post game, my hands were just shaking, as a mom you just want your children to do the very best they can and hope that is enough to help their teammates. Chuck is like me VERY hard on himself so I was happy for him and his success- he was beaming from ear to ear post game!!! Now the coaches want to work with him for full time goalie, I just said "Let's give all the kids a chance and come back to Chuck"... they all just laughed at me. Anyway here are MANY pictures of the game....enjoy!!!

Game Time


oh, he did play one game as right wing too :)


You can't see it very well because of the plexy glass but that is Chuck with the trophy to the right, the coaches gave it to him and told him to skate around with the team as a VICTORY lap.. LOL funny!!!


And the Champions!!!!
