Last week the Ordinals won 4-3 in overtime… this week it was exactly the opposite, we lost 3-4 in overtime. We played a good game during regulation for the most part. We still fall into some of our typical traps: slowing up in the second period a bit, gliding when we should be skating hard [...]

The Power of Jerseys
I had no idea that jerseys carry such power. In some previous post, you’ve seen the rather sad looking gray jerseys that the Ordinals play with (see the “Ordinals Hits 50th Game” post). This was a good way to go as the team was starting out and it wasn’t clear how long we would last. [...]

We also had Mark Ciaccio, power skating coach for the Phoenix Coyotes, Brock Ballard, director of power skating for the De Raaf Hockey School in Bad Tolz, [...]
The Tigers wrapped up the spring season this past Saturday with a 3-3 tie with the Rockets. It was quite the nail biting game. We were up 2-0, and then I got color blind and mis-read a red Rockets players as an orange Tiger player and allowed a goal in because I was defending like [...]
