Disapointment Again...........


Well, because of Devin's hurt little finger the CW coach decided not to wait to see if he could play and used two of his regular goalies for the tournament. Though we did go to one of their practises prior to the tournament weekend, Devin did not roster with them; however, ended up playing all three games for the Blizzard. Unfortunately we ended up having to play teams in the #1 ranked division (who rostered three AAA players each just for the tournament) and did not fare well. The CW coach watched one of the games, and though they only won one of their three games, decided to stick with the goalies they have. Devin was notified by email and once again the coach told him he wanted to stay in touch and have him come down for practises this summer. (Doesnt want to take him but doesnt want to let him go either............?) A Flint team is now in hot pursuit of him; however, this would mean a lateral move vs. a move up. So it looks like Devin will remain a Blizzard another year and will just have to try out for AAA again next spring, maybe for a different AAA team. In the meantime he is going to a camp in Peterborough this summer and will have his goalie coach Mike, for the season, to fine tune him and prepare him for next springs tryouts.
