It was nice to get
our first win under our belt last night but game 2 was against the best ’03 team
in Finland. We battled hard but came out
on the wrong end of a 9-6 hockey game.
It was 7-6 going into the last 5 minutes of the game but we got into
penalty trouble (Finnish hockey rules) and just couldn’t hold on.
The games over here
are three 20 minute periods with floods between periods. The kids played hard and fought back throughout
the game but in the end fatigue took over with our travel schedule and we just couldn’t hold on. We get another
chance against this team tomorrow and we’re looking forward to it.
