Wow, what a weekend. Scarlett's first tournament was this weekend, and it was a lot of fun.
Martin thinks I'm turning into one of those mothers, you know the type that takes the game really really seriously. But I'm sure I'm just a typical mother.
Aren't you supposed to be stressed, and yelling at the referee's. This is very important to me, ahhh I mean the girls.
Of course I'm just kidding, I am all about the girls having fun. Who cares if they win, as long as Scarlett's gets off the ice having had fun.
It was easy to get pulled into the excitement, and sure there were times where you wondered if the referee had been drinking, or maybe needed glasses but for the most part it was just a lot of fun to watch.
Getting to see the girls beaming with joy as they got their medals was a great thing to see.
At this age they are still having fun, Scarlett got her medal and thought they had won the whole tournament. She had no idea that silver isn't as good as gold, to her it was the fact that she had a medal hanging around her neck.
The girls next tournament is over the Christmas Holidays in Whitby, and I for one can't wait.
Here she is patiently waiting her turn to go on, of course her stick should not be over the boards while the game is on. What you can't see is me waving at her trying to get her to put the stick away.
Playing defense.
The Silver Medal Winners, Scarlett is back row, left corner.
Good girl defending the net, and notice she is not in the goalie crease, its taken some time but she's finally got the hang of it.
Just missed her blocking a shot here, but you can see she's ready to pounce.
