They got ice palaces in Blaine-tucky? Wooo doggie! :D

Here's your "what it's like to coach mites" story for today. At yesterday's jamboree -- in the semi-famous Richfield Ice Arena -- near the end of the game the other team gets breakaway #175. Two of our guys actually hustle back and intercept the puck carrier. The kid with the puck sees he's got no play, and just flips it towards the net. It hits our first defenseman's stick, caroms off the second defenseman's skate, and goes right between our goalie's pads for a goal.

Being the good and positive coach I am, I want to make sure the kids know what went right. This is my Teaching Moment! So I say to the bench, "You know, that's how it goes sometimes. Did you see how our two guys hustled back? That was great skating. But somehow it bounces off everybody and goes in. That's gonna happen sometim --" Kid on the bench interrupts: "I'm thirsty."

Me too, kid. Me too.

A great coaching moment would have been to respond with a heavy dose of sarcasim........."hi thirsty my name is DaveStPaul." Followed up with a post game practice with no pucks. I am here to help. :D

Good morn Lodge! Breakfast is cooking, getting ready for my flight home. Huskyfan and hubby got their owed drinks, once I found where they were sitting. Great weekend, but it will be good to get home.

Man, that ice arena in Richfield (MN) is something! Big gift shop, and nice (relatively speaking) concession stand, two rinks -- one of which seats 1,800 :eek: -- pretty impressive.

Our mite team got a good lesson in what it's like to play against somebody who actually skates hard after the puck. :o

Can't fire the players so you have to go after the coach!

Speaking of firing the players, I'm going to go watch a bantam game and one of the teams takes enough penalties to lose their fair play point.

It is the next tie-breaker in the pool so if the team we are tied with does that we should be in the next round. They are quite capable of doing it, and it's better than us having to urn up the score on the third team in the pool. The third team is the worst one, but with some of the nicest kids and parents on it. Don't want to have to try and beat them 16-0 Monday night.

We're getting snow. About an inch here. It's going to be 60 on Wednesday, then back down to 40 by the weekend.

For God's sake, let's just get the tornado over with, blow our asses to Kansas, and be done with it.

Finally home. The Townie Tour of CO Springs was a success. Found some good greasy eats, got to try a couple new brews, saw some hockey and friends.....

I will say home sweet home, though. :)

And since I didn't say it before: HHT for the weekend. :)
