Hopefully this "catch up" post isn't too long

Sorry about not posting in a while, I've been pretty busy.........okay, I'll admit it, I haven't been too busy, I've been too lazy. Well instead of updating you on every hockey game between my last post and now, I will sum it all up without mentioning any specific games.


We finished 1st overall in the regular season with a record of 7-1-0. In my mind, I had 15 goals and 9 assists, but according to the league I had 15 goals and 4 assists for 19 points. No big deal. I ended up finishing T2nd in scoring in scoring with 15-4-19. I led the team in scoring, but missed the league lead by 3 points. I did tie for the league lead in goals with 15 though.

Luckily, I was able to move past my personal loss and focus on the Championship game. The last time we played this team we won 7-1. Was it a coincidence that our team had a 7-1 record in the regular season as well? I think not. Anyways, I started the game and was trying to clear out the front of their net in order for our captain to score the 1st goal of the game. I leaned a little bit to hard and the kid, who is half my size, in both height and weight, went flying and I was called for roughing. While I was in the box we scored and took the 1-0 lead. I came out of the box, picked up the puck and drove to the net. After putting it five-hole we took the 2-0 lead and never looked back. We ended up winning the game 7-1. That's right, I scored the second goal of the game, so that means that the Championship winning goal was scored by me. YEAH!!!!! As if it were coincidence again, we also won that game 7-1 which was our regular season record. So of course, being the team that we are, we all threw off our gloves, helmets, and sticks then dog-piled our goalie.

Thus, the first Championship in Village Idiots History was achieved.

I will not be able to update you on everything between my last post and now, but I will start posting day by day ASAP. I will also try to make a new blog for my hockey posts. It will be the same as my dad's villageidiotshockey blog except it will be from the view of a player. Stay tuned for more information on that one. Thanks for reading this post and have a nice day :)
