The AAA Season Begins.....


Well the Belle Tire AAA season has begun and the practises are intense. Three times a week or more, depending on games. Devin's very first game was against the best team in the country and we lost; however, the score did not indicate how well Devin played. We scored first and Devin kept them in the game through the first period 1 to 0; however, he did not have alot of help and we ended up losing 7-1. He played the entire game because his coach said there was no reason to pull him, he did what he was supposed to and the team let him down. Well this team consists mostly of AA players so they needed to gel as a team and realize that this is a whole different type of game then they were used to. The second game was played against Little Caesars with the other goalie in net. We lost 3-1, though we should have won that game. Our third game Devin was in and we won against Compuware 7-1. Everyone seems to be real happy with the way Devin plays and think we will be the team to beat by the end of the season. At this level he will hone his goaltending skills and it will be up to him now, as to how far he can go.

Good luck - would be awesome to play for Team USA!

Almost time to start thinking about which college to play for... ya know, my alma mater produces not just NHL players but TEAM CAPTAINS... Amonte, Tkachuk, Drury... I could go on... not to mention diPietro (not that I like him for dropping out too soon though).

Anyway, I have no doubt Devin is a superstar!!! Woo!
