Before leaving on our trip last Thursday, I had a hockey game on Wednesday night.  I also had another game last night, ending the regular season.  We should have won both games but came away with only one win, which was from last week.  In that game we faced off with the fifth place team in the league, while we sat in fourth place.  We had beat this team before with a final score of 7-4 and this game would be very similar to that one.  In fact the game ended with the same exact 7-4 score.  I managed to get one assist in the game while playing back on defense.

Last nights game was against the second place team, who we lost to earlier in the season 6-2.  Last night we took it to our opponents early on and had a nice 3-1 lead at the end of the second.  Unfortunately our scoring ended there and we allowed the other team to score three unanswered goals, resulting in a 4-3 loss for our team.  We actually played pretty well against them, but in the end we couldn’t escape with a win.  The loss secured our position in fourth place to finish the league, while a win could have bumped us up to third.  We will play our first round playoff game against the team that we beat the last week.  I will miss the game, but hopefully the team gets another win so I can play next Sunday in round two.
