Great Season Hawks!!

52-5-1

That was the ending record of the 2012-2013 Littleton Hawks Midget Major AA team. If you sit back and think about it,  that's pretty impressive. Think about all the goals, the passes, the saves, and the teamwork it takes to win 52 games. The boys had some pretty impressive wins, including a AAA tournament Championship in Boston at Labor day. That was the first championship win as a team, as well as the first games the team played, just a few weeks after tryouts. But their success didn't stop there. The boys proceeded to win the Silver Stick regional tournament, advancing them to the Championships in Sarnia. They won the CAHA championship, making them the state champions and advancing them to The National Championships in Hartford. The team was success in Hartford as well, going 3-0 in pool play and advancing as the first seed to the quarterfinals. The boys fought hard but in the end they couldn't get any past the Wonderland Wizards. It was a tough loss but the boys shouldn't be upset. I know what they were aiming for, and I know this is not the outcome they desired, but they have achieved so much in this season. I believe those 52 wins speak for themselves. The boys were successful off the ice as well. The boys bonded and became a family. They had each others' backs all the time, on and off the ice.

Our team consisted of five '94s this year, making it their last year of eligibility for midget hockey. Each '94 brought his own touch to the game. Ryan Seltenreich (#1) was a solid goaltender, helping to achieve such a successful season. He came up with some big wins when the team needed them the most. Joey Frydenlund (#3) was a pivotal defenseman for this team. He made it harder for every goal to be scored against our goalies. He played through year long injuries and maintained a high level of play the whole time. Josh Hart (#8) is known for his incredible slap shot and his passion for the game.  He skated hard every shift and never gave up.  Jimmy Morgan (#12) was our Captain this year. He played the leadership role this year for the team. Jimmy was our leader in points this year 17 goals and 10 assists. Mitch Frydenlund (#21) has the best hands in the league. Mitch is the ultimate playmaker and is a leader with 14 assists. each of these boys was a captain or assistant captain. They represented their teammates, and they will all be missed next year. Just remember boys, once a hawk, always a hawk. Good luck with all your future endeavors!

Go Hawks!! :)

Come From Behind Victory

The boys started off the days to go shopping for Nationals clothes. after a late lunch, the boys headed back to the rink to get ready for their game against Afton. The game was pretty even in size and speed. We started the game skating and passing well. With 5 minutes left in the 1st, Afton scored. the boys fought hard to get it back but couldn't score within the last five minutes of the first period. After the start of the second period Afton scored again with 11:40 left in the period. The games was looking like it was over as the second period came to a close with Afton ahead 2-0. After a quick ice make, the Hawks came back out. looking ready to score a goal. With 12 minutes left in the third Michael Ellis (#17) scored to make it 2-1. He scored with a slap shot from the blue line during the power play to start the goal scoring. 4 minutes later Tyler scored off of a breakaway, tying the game up. The third goal came from Connor Crory with 2:28 left in the third. Despite Afton's best efforts, they couldn't get a goal past Ryan and the hawks came back from being down 2-0. It was very crazy to watch but was amazing! Can't wait for tomorrow's game against Arrows Hockey at 9 am tomorrow! Until then Good night!

Practice day

Today the team left for practice around noon. A majority of the dads went with the team to watch the practice. The practice went well and the boys seem confident about the games. Once the boys were back, they had barbecue and hung around their rooms the rest of the night. Everyone is very ready for the game tomorrow! Lets go Hawks!!

New York City

We headed out early this morning (4:30 am Colorado time) for the Big Apple. we drove past Central Park and down 5th Ave. then headed for the pier. From there we took a 75 minute ferry ride past Ellis Island and The statue of Liberty. After our cruise, we headed for Chinatown and Little Italy. Chinatown consisted of some great bargain shopping, Rolexes,Ray-bans, and even some G-strings (Yikes!). We had a delicious lunch in little Italy, and afterwards the boys walked to wall street to rub the lucky bull. We then toured the 9-11 memorial, which was beautiful and somber all at the same. We headed for the subway and after slight difficulty we all got onto the subway and made it safely to Times Square. After a quick walk through times square, we headed for the NHL store off of Times Square. After a quick TV appearance on NHL live, and an hour Times Square after dark with all the signs lit up. Then it was time to get back on the bus and head back to Hartford. We got back to the hotel around 11pm and then it was off to bed! more adventures to come tomorrow! Good night! :)
