Roll me over, hockey's over!!

(I know that sounds dumb but it rhymes, lol)

Yesterday was officially Gunnar's last game of hockey this season, yessss!! I suppose I shouldn't be so excited and happy about it but you guys know what hockey season is like for us around here. Its great to have our weekends back! Ardan finished up two weeks ago and what a relief that was, no more lugging around those stupid white jerseys!

Both boys had an amazing season. If I had Ardan here with me right now he could rattle off his exact stats, but I think he scored something like 45 goals, and probably double that for assists. In fact, at one of his last games he was 'scouted' by a guy who runs a prestigious triple-A Novice team over the summer and invited to tryouts. Pretty impressive for a kid who's only played two seasons of hockey!

Now, Gunnar... what a kid. He was good when the season started, and now he is simply... friggin' AWESOME!! Check out these standings from the Sylvan Lake Minor Hockey website:

Points leader for Playoff Standings, 8 points (5 games played, 5 goals, 3 assists, 0 penalty minutes)

Points leader for League Standings, 22 points (19 games played, 15 goals, 7 assists, 16 penalty minutes)

The next two standing stats were taken from the North Central Minor Hockey website, which compiles stats from players all throughout north central Alberta, and catalogues them according to their Tier (a Tier is like what level of play they're at; AAA is Tier 1, AA is Tier 2, A is Tier 3, etc). Gunnar's team, the Sylvan Lake PeeWee A Lakers, is Tier 3.

Notice that Gunnar is the only player from his team on this Playoffs 2 Standings.

Here, he's tied with Shane at 22 points, but once again they are the only players from their team and tier.

So yeah, its been a great, exciting season; both boys continue to improve and grow stronger. However....

HIP HIP HOORAY, HOCKEY'S OVER!!
