Holiday Blog

This weekend our hockey team was in a tournament that we host called the Abra Holiday Tournament. This holiday tournament is considered the best highly ranked and playing teams in the state which usually draws a big crowd. I read an article in the Star Tribune about our team on the weekend. Before we entered the tournament we were almost 500 and weren't playing to our potential. In high school hockey there are blogs of parents and watchers who write about what they think of teams/players/coaches etc. A girl on our team told us to look at some blog they found of all the "bloggers" writing that they thought our team would come in last with no expectations of winning a single game and a few other not to nice words. Our first game we played Irondale, who were semi-good. They had two girls on their team that played on the u18 national team which got our attention. We came out strong and ended up winning 6-3 which was a big win for us. Our second game we played Hill-Murray who were ranked 4 at the time and were expected to have a shut out against us. We ended up winning 3 to 1 and going to the championship against stillwater whos rated #3. "it was a preview to the state tournament" says Star Tribune writer. We ended up winning 3 to 2 to take the title.
