Edmonton Wins MHL Finals!!!

Thanks to all teams for an incredible final 2 weeks.Hate to see it done but all good things must come to an end. This is how it unfolded......
Recess- Boston just demolished Winnipeg 6-1. 5 goals for Madjic Mackenzie. No contest. Boston grabs third overall.
Lunch time. 20 minutes of pure excitement. Kondo opens the game with a goal for Edm. but LA fights back to take a 3-2 lead.Whats this?LA from 8th to 1st? With one minute remaining Kondo ties it up to send it into sudden death OT. 2 minutes and 12 seconds into OT Kondo pounces on a puck at the side of the net and slides it passed Johnathon Quick for the win.The fans go nuts.The team mobs the goalie in a big pile.The trophie is handed to the victors and everyone gets some chocolate.Not bad?
Year 2 of the MHL a huge success.Mr. Miller is very happy and only wants to see the league grow bigger and better.Who wants to help? Looking for applicants for the 2013-2014 season beginning late October.
Thanks for making Mr. Miller's rainy days so bright guys!Well done.
On to spring soccer!!!

Edmonton vs Toronto Rock MacKenzie gym!!!!

Wow.What a game.Held over for a day because of a tie, the 2 teams got back to business for OT #1 at recess today. Kondo took control of things in the first 10 minutes putting his Edmonton team up 3-1.But Justin and the Toronto boys never gave up.In the last minute Justin bagged 2 goals to tie it and blow the roof off the gym.We all went mental with excitement.so.....
OT #2 lunch time. With my bag of chips in hand(Thanks Karnvir!) we enter the arena for 20 more minutes of hockey.This time however, Kondo just stepped it up a notch and no one could follow.The way he can run the distance of the gym so effortlessly is fun to watch and he took over for the boys from Edmonton.A 5-1 thrashing of Toronto to settle the score.Well done to both teams for turning a rainy day into a action packed day of hockey.
Stay tuned for more exciting action to come next week!!

Day 2 hockey playoffs heat up!!

2 exciting games today in the MHL. First Winnipeg dismantled the mighty Calgary 5-1. Ronnel comes out of nowhere for 4 big goals!Nice.Then Toronto and Edmonton. Ryan K opens the scoring early and it looks like business as usual, but no! Justin M. denies the day for Kondo and ties it up and keeps it that way to the buzzer. Tomorrow at recess we will play an exciting overtime to decide the fate of these 2 teams.Be there!

Soccer season coming soon.

Hey soccer fans.Stay tuned as the floor hockey season winds down morning soccer practices will begin.So get ready to go!
