Reply To: 2011 Spring Teams

[Tom Molloy]

We played the last session with two shifts. The older group had 12 and we numbered them 1-6 with 1 sitting the first shift then 2 etc. The younger group had 14 and numbered 1-7 and 1-2 sat the first 3-4 the next etc.

Jim timed one minute shifts and I was on the ice. On the whistle they passed to me and I put it in the nzone to keep it even. The shifts end up being about 50".

They played games to 5 and I called out the score. On a goal the scoring team has to skate back to centre and the other team picks up the puck and goes. It is really fast paced.

After the game was neat. The players came and shook Jim and my hands and the parents clapped.

All in all a great camp in a fantastic place.

On my morning bike ride I got about 200 m. from my destination, Pyramid Lake and as I looked to my left I saw a cinnamon colored bear eating berries and then stop to look at me. It was about 10 m. away. I decided I wasn't going to cross it's path so I turned and headed back to town. I thought of stopping and taking a picture with my Iphone but then said Nay, I'm leaving.

It was a hard winter and late spring so the bears came down early and when the berries started blooming they decided to stay. So lots of Bruins around but not of the Boston kind.
