Hockey & Soccer . . .

Taylor's hockey team is tied for first place - (8 - 1)   ~ they have won all their games except for the very first game!!  ~  they play the team they are tied with on Sunday (it is another Houston Wild Team) - update on that next week ~  Spencer's Team is on down ward slide - but I hope they can turn it around soon.  They have lost every game but their first game.  It seem in competitive youth hockey - one year you do well and then the next year the team can't win a game - but they are getting better because they are playing in a competitive league.   So good luck Spencer's team the rest of the season (three boys quit the team!)   Spencer is a goalie - but I wish they would let him skate out sometimes - he can skate fast and would be good for the defense - but the coach likes having two goalies ready to play.  Tommy's house team has not won a game yet either - they have tied and they have lost - but they are getting better each week.  Tommy made it on a select team that will play 12 games and it has kids that can skate better and faster than some of the beginners.   It is fun to watch them - they lost their first game 2-3.  He plays again on Sunday.  On to Soccer - Spencer's team went undefeated this season - 6-0-3  (3 ties) ~ but no loses.
The coach let them dump a cooler of water on his heads at the last game.  Tommy's team lost or tied all their games but the last one ~  the won 2 - 0.  It was great ~  he got to play goalie for a bit.  In 3rd grade is when they move up to the "big" field and it is a lot of running.  Soccer is over - now on to Church league Basketball after the holidays and the 2nd half of the Hockey season.
