So it has been a long time since I have entered anything in my blog and for that I apologize. I have been busy doing lots of stuff but not a hole lot worth writing about you know the day to day grind. But last weekend we took a team from Red Lodge to Bozeman for a hockey tournament it
was a great time. I had the best chearing section (check out the jersey).
The refs were really good which was a pleasant surprise due to the completely honorable job the refs in billings did during the tournament there last year. So Red Lodge tied one game and lost 3 doesn't sound so good but we only lost by 2 goals to the defending champs and tied the team that is mainly made up of guys from Summit Bike which felt pretty dam good!
Then we played the Wood Peckers from Missoula they had a few ringers and one guy must have scored at least 5 of there 7 goals. (tournament rules allow one person to only score 3 goals) when I asked the ref how many goals the guy had scored the ref said "I will ask" assuming he would ask the score keeper I said " sounds good" he proceeded to ask the player how many he had scored! the player obviously answered "only 2" ummmm? anyone else see a problem with this? so what ever. So after losing that game we were in a 3 way tie for who would play for 7th-8th and who would play the 10th place team for 9th-10th. so in true hockey fashion we held a drinking contest at center ice. we lost so we played for 9-10. early Sunday morning. after staying in the locker room until 3am drinking the team pretty much defeated ourselves 7-1 Sunday morning. We lost to a team that had only scored 1 goal the entire tournament until we played them. Amazing.
