Pee Wee Updates - Round 8

Last Sunday morning me and Mrs Gamer fulfilled our familial obligations and got Blake to the rink on time and then stayed until he'd played his back to back games with his Penguin mates against the Oilers and then the Panthers.  An entertaining and educational experience in its own right, we also had the privilege of witnessing his first 'official' goal, followed by two more before the morning was through.

For the record, the Penguins won the first game 14-2 and the second 7-5.  There are five more games left in the regular season.  They only need to win one of those five to guarantee themselves a spot in the Grand Final Series. 

Below are my videos from the games.  I didn't get Blake's third goal (in the final period of the second game) which is a pity because it was a more powerful example of his first two (third period in the first Oilers game), a strong one timer from the slot off a perfect pass from the corner.  My favorite defensive shift of the day begins at 1:33 in the second game (Panthers).

Watching the game it was clear that he had outgrown his skates.  So to finish off this momentous morning we made a quick visit to Graham at the Power Play shop and picked up a pair of Bauer skates, black hockey socks and some black tape.  After a quick test of the skates on the otherwise empty small rink, it was out into the cold and home to a nice warm heater.

Great day!
