unmercifully. The refs were letting everything slide (on both sides) and Farmington was brutal. They were very good skaters, and could have beat us with that alone, but the awful thing was that they played extremely dirty hockey, anyway. Our kids were too ethical to stoop to that level, but with the refs being so lax, basically all rules were thrown out the window. It was a bit scary, actually. We had two players go down, lying eerily still, both after having their heads slammed into the boards. Our smaller players were actually pushed vertically downwards, collapsing like accordions. If it weren't for Michael being one of the forces on our team fighting back, I would have been tempted to pull him off the ice for his own safety. A very disturbing hour of hockey. I am thankful that all the kids now seem OK.We had a celebratory dinner for our earlier win at the restaurant across the parking lot. The hockey boys have been busy running from room to room playing various video games. Jonny and Crispy have been enjoying some
extended time in the pool.....FINALLY! The baby.....well, I think he is ready to go back home. He has had enough of this interrupted schedule, and misses his toys and sisters. We play our last game tomorrow at noon.....we will be leaving here with a third or fourth place trophy. That will be a nice thing for the boys to come away with for all of their efforts!
