Three-Peat!!

Our tournament in Everett was tonnes of fun and we managed to defeat the competition for the third year straight and take home the trophy. Two games we won rather handily 6-2 and 6-0 against teams from the lower mainland. Portland was our biggest challenge. They had one player who managed to sneak past us and score 3 times in the round robin resulting in our only loss of the tourney 3-2. We met again in the final matchup and this time had their number. With one of our defensemen standing no more than 2 feet away from their little superstar at any time, she really couldn't do much and got very frustrated. We put 3 pucks in their net early on and rode the lead for the rest of the game. Final score was 3-1. Junior has practically become part of the team now. I had several unusual penalties during one game and we were all joking that it was junior's fault... The baby made me do it!!
The other reason we go to this tournament is location... it's next to all the big outlet malls near Seattle. My friend Caroline and I went down Friday specifically to go shopping and we made some great finds. I managed to find a wardrobe that will pretty much get me through the rest of the year - fun stuff too, no moo-moos - and a pair of cute pink rubber boots with kitty faces on the toes for about $250 US total. Good times.
