The Playoffs

Liam's team, who is the youngest and hasn't been one of the top winners this season, is in the playoffs this week. Yesterday they played their last game of the regular season and actually beat one of the top teams. We couldn't believe how well the boys played -- they went head-to-head with the bigger boys.

Liam played Center (he usually plays Left Wing) and won the majority of his face-offs, so this looks like it might be a new position for him. As one of his friends said, "Liam knows how to fire the puck, and I know how to go after it. It works."

Tonight they played their first playoff game and won 7-4. It was a very exciting game. One of the youngest guys scored the winning goal and the Pirates (and their parents) went absolutely crazy.

The boys are overjoyed to have made it to a second playoff game -- an amazing occurrence for a team who has a record of 6-14-0. They have really come into their own just as the season is wrapping-up.
