West Virginia Wild - Squirts in Roanoke, VA

Isaac had his first hockey games this weekend. In fact there were two. Both against the same team on the same day in the same town. We drove to Roanoke, Virginia to play the squirts team there. For those of you new to the kids hockey terms, like me, squirts are the 8 and 9 year old kids.

Here is Isaac after the games, in his hockey pose.
They played at the Roanoke Civic Center. It's a pretty cool place. It is where the Virginia Tech Hokies Hockey team plays.

It was a pretty big stadium for this little guys to play in. This is a shot of the team talking to the coach just before the game. Look at that big stadium and all those empty seats, the squirts get no respect.

Here is an action shot of Isaac playing defence. He did a great job of staying in position, being where he was supposed to be. Keeping the puck in the attack zone and clearing it away from the net and out of the defence zone.

This is a shot of Isaac and his friend Branden on the blue line, Isaac is #75, of course, and Braden is in the yellow helmet. There where the defensive line.Just before the game the coaches handed out stickers for the helmets. Some numbers for the back, "Wild" for the sides, "West Virginia" for the front. It was pretty exciting in the locker room putting them on all the helmets.
