Boys Hockey Weekend

-
Last Saturday, Blaze and I took our boys on their first hockey retreat! Something he and I have done a few times - meet in St. Louis for a Stars / Blues game.

This one was Jackson's second and Brendan's first Stars game. If I can find it, I'll add the picture of them each going to their first ever game in Bloomington.

But for now, here's a picture of the highlight of the night - Trevor Daley flipped a puck over the glass during warm up for both of the boys.




See all the pictures here.

Stars Win

A follow up to last night. Modano was key in a big 3rd period come back & win. Here's a link to DMN's highlight video of last night's presentation.

Not often you see a 20 minute pre-game tribute. It's boiled down to about 3 minutes here:

One sports entry

Yes, this is the family blog; however, from time to time, we all need our own little entry.

In just a few minutes, the Dallas Stars will honor Mike Modano as the greatest American born hockey skater. On November 7th, Modano broke the record for points, and last season he achieved the same mark for goals among Americans. That night he scored two great goals, second of which became the game winner in a 3-1 victory in San Jose.

The Dallas Morning News had a great fact filled pdf, which I’ll link here so long as it is active.

Amid a disappointing Bears season, and while the Stars shake things up to try to better their own slow start, this is a great accomplishment to celebrate. It’s unfortunate that Dallas will not fill the house on Thanksgiving eve to see it done. I know that mom, Blaze, & I will all be watching!

Congrats to Mike (like I know him or something!) &

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
