All Star Game & the Toothless Wonder

Top Pic - Scott, Me & Bill after the All Star game. If you look really good you can see my tooth missing. Scott got the third star of the game, Bill picked up a assist on Scotts goal & I got my tooth knocked out during a face off... Oh & we won 3-2, pretty good night!!

Bottom Pic - Is a close up of my chipped tooth!! GO MONKEYS!!

Tooth Fixed

Went to the dentist this morning at 8:45. Got my tooth fixed, I pretty much enjoyed a week of looking like a real hockey player. As for getting ready for next session, we've actually added a few players to the team. We had people contacting US this time, to join the Monkeys, so that was nice. The only problem is we still don't have a goalie. So if we don't hear from one soon, we'll have to go to a evaluation skate & try to pick one up there. Bri is looking like she wont play with us this next session, she'll probably just sub. Other than that, this next session is looking like it will be a interesting one. May 11th is supposed to be the first day, but there is no schedule out yet. GO MONKEYS!!

Captains Game & All Star Game

This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a Captains game & All-Star game. Saturday was the Captains game. Pretty much all the captains from teams from divisions 6C - 8 participated in it. I played on the white team & had a assist in a losing cause. We were down 3-0 before storming back & eventually losing 6-5. In the All Star game on Sunday, 3 Monkeys represented ( Should have been 4, but one didn't show up ). The Monkeys were represented by Scott Glowaski, Bill McCutchen & Me. Scott & I got automatic bids because we were among the top 4 in points in our division. Bill was elected by the team. The official score sheet hasn't been released yet, but I know Scott scored whites first goal ( I think I might have a assist there, but not sure ). We went back & forth til the white ( Monkeys were all on the white ) won 3-2. Scott got the third star of the game. Now for the fun part... during a face off in the second period, the puck shot up in the air & took out a piece of my tooth, so now I'm OFFICIALLY a hockey player!! I have a half of a tooth in the front, luckily I had my mouth guard in & it saved the broken piece of my tooth for a souvenir. So I've got a few days to enjoy my half a tooth before I get it fixed. I'll post a pic of the three of us, & my tooth when I find my damn cable for the camera & the computer. Oh summer session starts up May 11th. So far this team is adding some new players & it looks like we'll have a full team this session. GO MONKEYS!!

Last game of the season...

We played our last game for the winter session last night. It was a novice cup game & we played a team in a higher division. We started out hard, & fizzled very fast. We lost 8-2. Thanks to Jacy for subbing in net for us. It was a draining game, we were shorthanded as usual. But we had a good time & we are looking forward to next session that starts May 11th. GO MONKEYS!!

All-Stars!!

The Greater Seattle Hockey League just announced their All Star times for next weekend. Sunday, April 20th. Usually each team in the division picks two players to represent each team. This session they added a new feature, which allows the top 4 point scorers in the division to get a automatic selection to the all star game. The Monkeys had 2 within the top 4. Scott Glowaski at #1 & me ( Troy ) at #3. So we are automatically in... Now we are voting within for the next two Monkeys to join us. We could have a division leading 4 Monkeys in the All Star game!! So I'm extremely proud. I've been recovering from the cold I had during our last game & slowly getting better. Our next game is a Novice Cup game vs. the Jokers. April 15th. I have to check where & time, but I'll post it as soon as I figure it out!! GO MONKEYS!!

Over

Tough loss. We lost last nights game, but it was one hell of a game. We were shorthanded, like usual. We were down 1-0, but we manage to tied it up on a shot on net, just throwing it in the zone & it managed to make it in. Aaron gave me the assist. Then it was all Icemen, M.Lee had a hat trick & we found ourselves down 4-1. We made it 4-2 in the third & it was looking a little promising, until we gave up another. 5-2 with about 7 minutes left, wasn't looking good. But the guys didn't quit & we were within 1 with less than a minute left. Darryl was streaking down the right & put a hard shot on net. Knowing his blasts usually give a nice rebound if it doesn't hit the net, I charged hard. Rebound came right to me & I backhanded it up & over the goalie for the game tyin goal. It ended up going into a shoot out & the Icemen pulled it out in the end. It was a amazing game & I got to score in a shootout on a move I've been working on for a while. Did I mention that I was sick as a dog last night?? GO MONKEYS!!

Icemen

Here is the info on the next game!!

Sunday, April 6th @ 6:50 p.m. - Kent Valley Ice Centre
vs. Icemen

We were 1-3 against them this year. All 3 games we lost were 1 point losses. The one win was a 6-1 win. Thats just a fun stat for you all!! GO MONKEYS!!

We won!!

We pulled out last nights thrilling playoff game 5-3. Darryl got a natural hat-trick, a assist from me on the 2nd goal ( nice one at that ). But the Sockeyes tied it up late in the third. Scott then did his signature move behind the net wrap around, but altered it enough to fool the goalie & roofed it backhanded into the net for the go ahead goal. Adam then added the empty netter. Fun game, on to the next. One down 3 to go!! Next game vs. Icemen @ Kent Valley Ice Centre @ 6:15 p.m. April 6th. GO MONKEYS!!
