A Hockey Thanksgiving...Again
Posted Nov 29, 2015
Once again, I find myself at a Thanksgiving hockey tournament with my two kids, playing at two different levels on our local travel team, at a major venue, in the championship game on Sunday. We could have lost today, and gone home tomorrow, beating the traffic, but no, they just have to win. Now we have to stay late for their games, which will either result in taking home a championship banner to be proudly displayed at our home rink, or a cheesy plaque saying; Thanks for playing, sorry you came in second place. Good effort though. Rubbish.
As they sleep now (how they can do this is beyond me, I'm a nervous wreck) they are no doubt dreaming of hoisting that banner,having that medal placed around their necks and skating off the ice as champions. Having been here many times before, and having watched them watch another team celebrate the final victory, I hope those dreams come true. My goalie has been there many times now, as champion and as runner up, but my defense-man (who is a girl) has yet to hoist a banner. I hope the two of them can have that honor tomorrow, each on their own team.
We shall see!
