Ok - so Tyler Redenbach didn't come back. But who needs him when you have Cory Urquhart? (He's got 8 goals and 6 assists)  I think the series is going just fine. If only Reeder would sit out a couple games!! Watch out Scorpions - I have a feeling that Monday it will be all over for you.

Finally, the playoffs are here. My team, the Sundogs, have done outstanding this year. (In my opinion) They ended the season with their ninth win in a row, and in the March 19^th game against the Rage, they rallied in the 3^rd period from a five goal deficit to win in overtime 7-6. They have blown away my expectations, particularly with center Alex Leavitt leading the CHL regular season in points and assists. (I wonder why he didn't get the CHL MVP??) But I digress...

I guess my point is watch out New Mexico and whoever's next. The Sundogs are hot and only getting hotter! (especially if Tyler Redenbach returns)

I've been playing roller hockey for a few years, but now, with an ice rink in town, I'm going to start playing pick up hockey.  I just got some CCM hockey skates and I've been practicing ice skating.  So far it's been going well-I just need help stopping properly.  Right now, I use my right foot to slow me down.  That  works OK, but, I'd like to be able to zoom up to the goalie and stop without running in to him while spraying ice in his face (like the pros).  So, if anyone has some tips or advice please let me know. 

I hope everyone out there in Hockeyland had a great Christmas and will have an awesome New Year!

Go SUNDOGS!!!
