Alex Aleardi playing roller hockey

 

 

 

I was playing in a roller hockey tournament at Joe Dumars Fieldhouse this weekend.

After one of our games was over, I walked over to the other rink and I saw that Alex Aleardi was playing for a team in another age group in the tournament so I took a picture. It is a little blurry but he was moving fast. Mitch Jones was there too but he was just watching the tournament.

I put up a few pictures of me and my team, Alkali Arsenal. We came in 3rd place which is cool but we like to do better. Oh well.

Whalers win series! Alkali Arsenal wins tournament!

A great day for hockey in Michigan!

Can't win 'em all I guess

                                                                               

But I wish they could.

Oh well, the Whalers lost their first game of the playoffs to Owen Sound 3-1 today. It started out pretty good when Ryan Hartman scored. The rest of the game the Whalers had some good chances but just couldn't get the puck in the net. Then the Attack scored 3 goals and it was all over. The Whalers still played pretty decent and still outshot the Attack. I give Ryan Hartman the Whaler Town player of the game.

We noticed that the Whalers were doing their penalty kill a little different as Stefan Noesen was heavily pressuring and harassing the point. Usually, the Whalers mostly back in on the penalty kill but we like this way better as Owen Sound was having problems passing the puck back to the point and this was messing them up.

Games 3 and 4 are during the week at Owen Sound. Game 5 is at Compuware Arena but I have to miss because my tournament is that night and all weekend. Oh well. Here is a picture of my team Alkali Arsenal in action. I am second from the left in the white helmet. Will be thinking about the Whalers when I am playing.

Go Whalers!
