This weekend we outscored the other team 23-0 in three games! Three shutouts in three games is impressive, to say the least. Almost unheard of. That stat alone tells you how much our team is improving defensively. It was a great weekend, so much fun to be back in McCall. We got great crowds for every game, and, as always, we were extremely spoiled by our billets up there. It seems like I'm never not full in McCall, which is a good thing for those of you who know my eating habits!
My mom's first comment to me when I told her we won 12-0 today was, "Oh, I wish you had better competition." Well, better competition would be nice, but I told her that every weekend our coaches and our team hold ourselves to a certain level of perfection, so it really doesn't matter who we play. We're growing together and getting better as a team at the right time of year. We just have to keep this going. Success breeds confidence, and we're a pretty confident bunch right now. In the past 10 games, we've given up 7 goals and had 5 shutouts. We have some tough games coming up, and our eyes are focused on getting back to the Thorne Cup championship and nationals, while also playing our best hockey on the way there. It's going to be fun!
Next weekend, we play 3 games in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and my family's coming to watch! I'm excited. We're pretty busy this week, so it's going to go by fast!
