Our boys are having their last games of the season this weekend. The Taylor Metcalf Tournament at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. The first night we were only there a few minutes and the tornado sirens were going off, everyone in the arena had to go to the shelter areas.
Luckily Oxford was spared but tornadoes hit all around the area. We already planned our last team dinner for tonight, not knowing what tomorrow would be like (Sunday), but our boys pulled out a win against a great team, the Green Bay Gamblers. They are through to the semi's tomorrow morn and are guaranteed a consolation game as well, so its a good weekend no matter what as far as ice time goes!
Our team mom put together a couple gifts for the departing coach, and I got some crappy cell phone pics. One is a team jersey framed for him, and another is team photo autographed by the boys. They also put together a book for him with pics of each boy and a personal note from each.
Here are the pics:
It still sucks we're losing him, but now that we know more details, with the assistant coach taking over, and all the new bites we have from other players in the area that want to try out, I'm feeling better about next year.
