Stick!!

I forgot to mention that I got my stick painted. It was my Warrior that got chipped up. I peeled the paint off of it & had it airbrushed by a friend. Since it was last minute, I kept the design simple, but the work on it wasn't. It's Monkey colors, though the red looks orange, its actually tinted with gold & depending on how the light hits it, it shines. The flames were put on just for fun & the Puck'N Monkeys is in the same font as our logo. Wonder how long before I have to repaint it?? GO MONKEYS!!

Game #3

Game # 3 vs. BLU-Bombers Sunday, June 1st - 8 p.m. @ Olympic View

Another great game

Icemen vs. Puck'N Monkeys - has become one of the great rivalry games for us. We had another fun game last night. For the first time in Monkey history we had 16 players. We had a extra forward & three lines of D, three lines of F/C. It was crazy!! We know that being summer, there will be some people missing, but we never thought we'd have a full squad at any game. I'm sure it might happen again, but who knows.
So we started off, not really slow... but both teams played solid, until those darn Icemen put one in the net first. One of our newer Monkeys, but a teammate of mine from a former team, put us on the board to tie. We managed to tip the puck away in the neutral zone & I knocked it into on sides, Pete then picked it up, walked in & put it past the goalie. Scott then scored one, Darryl another & Scott again to end the game with a 4-3 win. We took the lead at 2-1 & never let it go. There was a lot of energy, short shifts & just excitement with our team. It was nice to see & I hope it keeps up throughout the summer session. Not sure when our next game is, but it should be posted in the next few days. I will post it as soon as I find out. GO MONKEYS!!

Game #2 vs. Icemen

Not really a rematch of our epic battle that eliminated us from the playoffs last session, but close...

Tuesday, May 27th
Game # 2 vs. Icemen - 9 :45 p.m. @ Lynnwood Ice

Game #1 in the books

This season started with a hard fought game. I must say it was kind of weird seeing that many players in our locker room. We had a full squad. Happy Birthday to Max & a good way of celebrating it, with his first hockey game. Ian scored twice, once on a nice breakaway to help us to a 2-2 tie. Now we did have the lead, but a few mistakes that haunted us last season didn't help. First game, jitters, rust & getting to know our new players definitely played a role, but in the end I was pretty happy with our play. I expected us to be competitive, I expected us to play hard & we did both. Brie was phenomenal in net & really kept us in it. Next game.... next post...

GO MONKEYS!!

Game #1

Game #1 vs. Highlanders - 9 p.m. @ Comcast Community Ice Rink in Everett

Good practice game for the new Monkeys as well as the old. GO MONKEYS!!

And the Goalie is...

Well after a frustrating off season, we finally have found our goalie. Brienne will be suiting up again for us in net. She wants to skate out this session, but we have had such a hard time finding a goalie that I had to beg her to do it. I'm happy she will be in net, since she is a solid netminder, but disappointed that we couldn't find someone. I think by us asking the goalies to shell out some good money might have turned a few of them off. But in the end we got who we wanted. We've got our rosters & its 15 players, so I'm pretty happy. There is just a few more things to take care of before the summer session starts. GO MONKEYS!!
