January Showcase


Well the January showcase is now behind us and though we did well, Devin only got to play two games again. He lost the first due to stupid penalties again and we won the other four. We are now tied for first place and move on to the championship in February. Only the top eight teams move on, the last six play consolation games. We have our schedule and they are breaking down the top eight into two groups of four. The four teams in each group play each other and the top two move on to the semi finals using crossovers. The two winners from that group play for the championship. If our team plays smart and holds the penalties down, we have a good shot to go all the way. It will totally depend on how the team comes to play. Our teams are the Las Vegas Storm, the Thunder and Omaha. I will keep you posted on the outcome. Though Devin has had a few losses the past two showcases, he is playing really well. The team has a tendency to play more offensively when Devin is in net, which allows breakaways and scoring. They play more defensively with the other goalie. In March we play the top 5 AAA Michigan teams for states, then the season is pretty well over, it went by fast. We still havent heard anything on the NDTP invite so I have no news there.
