As of midnight, I'm up to 12 cm for #mbstorm Sunday. It has cooled off somewhat and the snow consistency has begun to become less "wet" and a bit more granular.
Took a little while to brush the accumulations off the vehicle before departing our arena home game.
It was a pretty entertaining one, with back-and-forth action. We came out of it with one point, in an overtime loss. A 5 on 3 we had in the final 2 minutes wasn't​ our best effort. The boys let their nerves get to them. #junior #hockey

Have, so far, had 5 cm wet snow to 16:00, with 3 cm falling since 14:00, here in Wpg-NK. Wind has been light, but now beginning to see a few gusts. Snow began around 11:00. #mbstorm
Will be venturing out into it in the next hour, or so, for a home #junior #hockey game. Glad we're at home and don't need to travel far.

I've driven by the small town this arena is at dozens and dozens of times before, but never had a reason to come into this particular town, so was kinda nice to actually do so.
This game was played here as many of the opposing team's players apparently live in the Eastman region, or so I was told.
I did manage to capture a short video from our warmup, which includes a closeup of one of the players -- he's quite the character. #junior #hockey

A Saturday Knight loss, in a game that felt like a tournament, because it was out in "the country", at a rink we don't play at. Not a bad barn, but there was a slightly nauseating odour of faint vomit, mixed with alcohol in the hallway outside our dressing rooms.

Our game was a high-scoring affair, for both teams. After being down by as much as four, twice, the boys battled back to tie, late in the third, then a go-ahead goal, and an added empty netter, sealed the win.
We were playing the last place team, so a loss to them would have been fairly demoralising.

Well... Heard too many playings of Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams" at our game this evening, in an 8-4 loss to the last place team (whom was first last season).
There are several reasons as to why we didn't fair very well in this one, but can only look to improve at the next game on Sunday. I'd say more, but won't go into it. #junior #hockey

Well, I don't believe we heard from anyone with Dr. Hydrate. It was just an idea, after all. Perhaps they're only capable of serving the Australian and maybe the New Zealand market, versus going international. I think that was a point Codes heard during the days of being told he'd need to move to the U.S. for his music career.
I did make up a decent first batch of "Gato" last night. We should have won, but two goals were waved off due to the net being displaced. #junior #hockey

Our first (and league) exhibition game was played earlier today. We had a very good first half but lost some momentum after the goalie switch at roughly the midway point. Our opponent was a full team of rookies, whilst we had mostly rookies, with a few single year veterans as well. Overall, there is a good energy with the boys we are evaluating, and we have nearly everyone returning from last season. No guarantees they'll all be chosen to stay on, though. They have to prove it. #junior #hockey

We were the first to use the virgin ice tonight for the season. It looks so crisp and fresh in the newly painted arena. Lots of possibilities await those chosen to be on the team. Golfing has helped out many of them during summer. Was pretty cool to see this memento, with a familiar name on it, too... #junior #hockey

T-minus four weeks until hockey season starts, with registration night in our room. Players need to provide a profile sheet and pay the 150$ training camp fee.
Everyone is guaranteed a few on-ice sessions and one game for that, plus they get a team t-shirt.
The first on-ice booking is September 3rd.
The City repainted the inside of the arena for the first time in like forty years, going from "smoke yellow" to a white or slightly grey-white. It will brighten it up in there.

Le risque d’avoir 2 enfants avec une grande différence d’age, mais très complice, c’est :
- #BebeMaze : Papa, tu fais des gaufres pour le goûter steuplé?
- Moi : je ne peux pas, je n’ai pas d’oeuf
- #BebeMaze à son frère: Papa a dit non, il n’a pas d’oeuf.
- #Junior : bouge pas, je sors la moto.
- #Junior, 20 minutes plus tard : tiens, des oeufs…

Bref, mes gamins se liguent contre moi pour le goûter.
