Score!

Defensemen do not get a lot of opportunities to score so this was more than exciting for Matthew to take the puck and BOOM, Score!

Right before dropping off to sleep that night, M told me how shocking and sweet it felt to score that goal. (He was in the penalty box when the other team scored so he felt a bit redeemed for giving the Bandits a Power Play. He was also thrilled the other Matthew on the team also scored. The two Matthews were the only 2 who scored any goals. Little M was happy.)

Matthew's coach this year is Chris Luongo. He was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings and played with the Ottawa Senators and New York Islanders as a defenseman. The team has really improved over the last few months under his coaching. I missed most of the Fall travel so this past weekend was my first travel weekend since September (Hannah was feeling a bit neglected so I stayed home with her and took her to lessons and rehearsals for the Winter Program.) It was quite exciting to see how much the team had improved.
