Today we have a picture of Violet working on her hockey skills. The first of a few preseason warm ups. It’s amazing how excited she gets to be playing hockey again.

Yesterday we spent a chunk of the day enjoying the great weather while the kids played ball hockey. Both Violet and Jacob really enjoy playing. While Jacob enjoy’s playing, Violet excels at it. She’s got 15 points in 7 games. 5 Goals and 10 assists. Ranking her 5th in her division for assists.

Yesterday Jacob’s team faced an elimination game. After loosing the first playoff game, they needed to win to force a third and deciding game. I’m happy to say they won.

Yesterday was the last Wednesday night practice for Violet’s DS team. Instead of a regular practice it was a mother daughter game. Everyone had a great time. It was a shame that some of the Mom’s couldn’t make the game, I know Melissa was disappointed she had to work.

Even with the season winding down Violet works on her skills at her weekly practices. I love watching her skate and compete with other kids.

Sunday was Violet’s 3 playoff game, so I had to use the picture from her game for my POD. The Blue Blades are now 2-1, I’m not sure what the rest of the teams are, but I think they have a good shot of making the finals.

Yesterday was what I though was Jacob’s first playoff game. Turns out it was the last game of the regular season.  His team won and he played on of his best games of the season. Right after this picture was taken his team scored the winning goal. The puck came right past Jacob into the net, and while he tried to get his stick on it, he insists he did. Though I’ll wait to see the official stats, I like to think he scored

Today after Violet’s DS Practice, they handed out Bears to all the players. Violet was thrilled with her knew good luck bear. She named it Lucky.

Saturday morning we arrived at the rink, and found Jacob’s was down a few players and no one was ready to play goalie. So Jacob Volunteered. I’m so proud of how hard he tried.

Today we have a picture from Violets DS practice.  Violet really liked this drill, where t h ey worked on skating next to another player.
