Thanks Mike I will have a look at it so I have to look for Oakridge games and Hockey Mom who does your DD play for so we can find her games also.

Ah. You guys are A/AA. We're AAA/AAAA. Different championships but they just happen to be close to each other this year. The website for that one is http://www.stjoeshigh.com/. I know the convenor for the A/AA finals (his daughter plays with our DD on the Devilettes) and they're really looking forward to hosting it this year.

I don't know if it's going to be the same banquet or not. Ours is also $25 and is at the London Marconi club on Tuesday night. The menu posted includes:

Penne al Sugo & Salad
Roast Chicken, Baby Carrots & Roasted Potato
Fresh Bread
Cheese Cake
Coffee, Tea & Soft Drinks

Well I will be missing out on teh St Thomas games as it is going to be tricky enough getting to Nichols arena for teh London games as I won't be driving yet after surgury next Tuesday but good luck to your DD. I will be getting a lift with my DD to see some of the London games. We will see you there Mike just let me know what games you will be attending and I will try to make it to a couple of those ones.

Sorry you won't be able to make one Charles- she's a Habs fan and a great player(I'm not to partial )

I didn't realize that there were 2 different tournaments until this morning. I guess your ranking is on the size of draw in the area which is why we are only AA.

Well if I was driving I wouldn't have a problem but I am having to get somone to drive us there as my operation is on my right knee LOL so I won't be able to drive anyplace and being that Nichols is closer to us than St Thomas is we have opted for the closer venue.

I just read in today's paper that my old high school won EOSSA and will be going to OFSAA. It's being held in St. Thomas so I assume that's the A/AA side. High school girls hockey has only been around for about 4 years where I am...I'm 1 year too old to ahve played! Makes me so mad cause I miss playing hockey so much!! Ah well....

Go Panthers!

Just got back from a week's skiing in the Rockies (life is tough) and had a quick look at the schedule. DD will be playing Tuesday at 10:10am (Nichols Pad A) and 2:30pm (also Pad A) and Wednesday at 8:15am (Pad C - the new one). After that, it's anyone's guess.

Sherry, good luck to Holy Cross. I'm checking the schedule to see if I can get down to St. Thomas and catch any of your games, but given I was away for March break sneaking off for another full day may not be in my best interests.

Mike we will head over for the 2:30 game tomorrow afternoon let us know how her 10:10 game went when we see you. I will be there with my DD you can't miss us I will be the one hobbling around on crutches.

 

[hockey mom]

Mike good luck to your DD. I will keep checking score updates. Our games are about a half hour off of yours so I will post updates here.

If you do make it out for any of ours my DD plays defense on this team. White 21 or green 5

 

[maryliz]

Good luck to your kids, Mike and Sherry! Do you think my boss would look at me funny if I said I had to leave early today to go to a DIS meet at a hockey arena?

Sherry ... where are you gals staying? Not exactly a lot of hotels in St. Thomas

Charles -- behave yourself on that knee!


Here's some for your teams -- an NO, Charles, I'm not including Montreal in this pixiedust.

and way to go on the trip to OFFSA. I am an E.A. at a high school and My boy's team made it to the CWOSSA finals but lost. We were favored to go but no such luck. You may actually come up to our town for a tournament up here-we host a girls tourney every year.

Mike sorry we didn't make it to the game we had a dentist appointment I didn't know about today. We will be at Brianfinch with the van tomorrow so we will be at her AM game tomorrow hope to see you there.

Mike sorry we didn't make it to the game we had a dentist appointment I didn't know about today. We will be at Brianfinch with the van tomorrow so we will be at her AM game tomorrow hope to see you there.

Not unless you're in real early with the van. We play Ajax at 8:15am to determine first place in our pool. Oakridge won both their games today and are guaranteed a spot in the quarter-finals tomorrow afternoon. DD played the afternoon game and only allowed one goal late in the third period. (She was named player of the game for her efforts, winning a free Boston Pizza pizza in the process.)

Checking the A/AA website, I see hockey mom's DD split their games today and it appears they need to beat Kincardine in their last round-robin game to get into the quarter-finals. Go Holy Cross!

Charles, I kept an eye out for you this afternoon. If you make it tomorrow, I'll be the guy in the corner with the camera wearing the deerstalker.

damo,

my mom and dad were at a Kalan Porter concert in the summer in Peterborough and my mom won the 50/50 draw and got to go on stage with Kalan and her pics taken. He signed a bunch of pics for the grandchildren!! Oh yeah she won $4112. Her and my dad went to Mexico in November!!!

 

[hockey mom]

Finally I can post. The internet at the Hotel was so slow and hardly working.

My DD tied her third game but still placed them second in their division so we played in he quarter final and 1:45. I thought we were going to get cremed but we only lost by one goal. It was a great game. At one point we were winning but ended up losing 5-4. So we took off for home shortly after to get the kids back in school.

One of the girls we played against in that last game has played for the all Ontario team and was she good. She scored 3 of the goals.

Maryliz we stayed in London because the Four Points Sheraton was the host hotel for OFFSA. Not a bad drive though to St. Thomas- about 15 minutes.

Mike how did your DD make out?
