Monday I stopped in to catch another hockey match and cool off at Polar Ice Gilbert. This time the teams playing were from the Mite age group made up of 7-9 year olds. It was the Sabers vs Leafs. I don't know much about hockey but on the backs of the uniforms were a lot of names that sounded like hockey names. Here are a few… Warman, Benzing, Gigliano, Gaul, Kunkel, Narvaez, Cavinder, Checani, Kampsen, Silvasti, Warman, Benson, Bucci, Gagliano, Membrila, Powell, Evahnekko, Rucka, Field, fowler, Paxson, Sinclair. To me they just sound like hockey names and that probably explains why these kids are so good.
There were several players that had this game figured out even more than the others with hockey names. They took control of the puck when it was anywhere near them. It was fun to watch these little guys and gals. They play much better than I would ever have imagined for seven, eight, and nine year olds.
And the added bonus… it was cold inside!
Here are some action shots. There are many more pictures from this match on my website HERE.
