It's cliche to say that teams are families. But playing travel hockey, taking bus trips, staying in hotels, and seeing each other four times a week, a hockey team truly becomes a tight group. A family. The end of the season means the dispanding of a great group of friends and families. Today we played our last game as a team, and there is nothing worse than the feeling of never getting that chance again.
The next couple weeks will no doubt be tough. Trying to accept the end of a great season and some how look ahead towards the future but it will not be easy.
To recap a great season - our team, the Northern Virginia Ice Dogs, finished with a 36-15-4 record, one win from a state championship, second in our league, and ranked nationally in the top 50. The team that stood in our way was the team ranked nationally #1 (rankings found in the right column). Last weekend we upset them with a 4-3 victory, becoming just the 4th team at our age group and level to beat them.
What a great year. There is no way I could've asked for a better group of guys to play with. This season will be remembered for a long time to come, no doubt.
