Englewood 4 PeeWees

Englewood 4 PeeWees 1

A couple of weeks ago we had our second exhibition game.  This was against one of the teams that we will play later this year in “League” play (that is, games that count).   I’m not sure whether this is a universal feeling, but I definitely thought that most of the kids on the other team were much bigger than our kids.  Now, I’m not accusing anyone of using Human Growth Hormones or anything, but when did it become normal for a 12 year old have a 5 o’clock shadow?   The game was physical.  Two minutes into the game Alex took the puck behind the net and stopped.  Mistake.  He got clocked by someone from the other team.  Welcome to Pee Wee hockey – checking and all.  Even though we lost, we did not play all that badly.  There were some nice passing plays that the goalie just happened to stop.   It will be interesting to see how we play against them next time.
