I scored a hat trick!

My hockey team, the Novi Wings are doing pretty well. We have won nine games and lost none.

Today we had two games and we won the first game 12-2 and won the second game 7-1. In the first game we were pretty good and winning 9-2 and then our coach said the defensemen were going to play forward position for the third period and the forwards would go back and play defense. This is good because I am a defenseman and this gives me a chance to get more shots to try and score. Defensemen don't take many shots because they are too far away from the net and the forwards are the goal scorers.

I did pretty well because I scored 3 goals in the third period which is a hat trick in hockey. For the first goal, I got close to the net and got a pass and shot a one-timer into the net. A one-timer is when you hit a slap shot right off a pass into the net. Hockey people think one-timers are cool. For the last two goals, I got breakaways and got past the defense for the other team and skated in on the goalie and shot it past him for goals. Then it was 12-2 and the game had to end then because if a team is winning by 10 goals, the game ends early.

I think this was my best game. I even got to take some face-offs. I still like to play defense but it is fun to be a forward for some games and my coaches are really nice about moving us around when we are really winning by a lot. One cool thing about defense is we get to slap our goalies pads with our stick before the periods because we are closest to the goalies. I see the Whaler defensemen do this too. The playoffs are coming up in a few weeks and I hope we do well.

We just also found out that the Novi Wildcats hockey team just won the State Championship. The game was today where the Whalers play but I missed it because I was at church. I did go to one of their playoff games last week and cheered them on. It was exciting.

Also James Livingston of the Whalers just got signed by the San Jose Sharks of the NHL and we are going to cheer him tomorrow at the game.

A lot hockey for me.

Dad helped me a lot on this one but I had a lot I wanted to say.

Our playoff hockey game

Yesterday, my hockey team the Blue Devils played in the first round of the playoffs. We changed our team name from the Atoms to the Blue Devils because our jerseys are blue.

Some really good players from our team could not make it because they were on Christmas vacation but we got a kid named Brian to help us out and he was pretty good. We played a very good team called the Sharks and lost 8-3. We did our best and the Sharks also have a very good goalie but the last time we played them they did not have the same goalie and we beat them. The new season starts in January and I am going to play again.

The Whalers are on a long road trip and then the league takes a Holiday break so we won't see a game until January. I decided to put up a picture of me and James Livingston and Ryan Hayes of the Whalers. I got it taken at a restaurant and then I took it to a game and had them both sign it. Part of the autographs are on the jersey so it is a little hard to see.

Today, I am going with the Cub Scouts to see the Red Wings play the Dallas Stars. Just me and mom and the Cub Scouts. No dad and Alex. I want to see James Neal of the Stars who played on the Whalers. This summer, I met him at the Whaler alumni game and I got him to autograph a hockey card and a puck. James is a pretty good player and he is nice.

That is it for now.
