what a goal

My trip to Moncton

My trip to Moncton was good. On the drive up, it felt really long. I played my gameboy some. Mom rented two games for me to play...Madgascar and Mario Pinball. ( I just got my gameboy two weeks ago with my birthday money, and I got The Incredibles game to go with it)

Grace and I did our chant , like always. "Let's go Thunder, let's go!!!" That was fun. We didn't get to go the hotel before the first game. Our first game was against the Cougars! They were hungry. It was a good game. We lost 3-1. Then we went to the hotel. I brought my mini stick and my ball, and I played hockey in our room. We had a suite...whatever that means. We had two TV's. We tried to go for supper with the team, but dad thought we would be late, so we went on our own. Dad was right...they were really late! Then we had to go back for our second game against a New Brunswick team...The Tommies. They won gold this year for their province. Those guys were HUGE! The game was great. They had a really good guy whose number was #87. He scored for them. We got a too many men penalty, that was a horrible call. It was while we were changing lines. Our coach got really upset, and the ref gave us a bench penalty. Aidan served the first penalty, and I had to serve the bench penalty. It was my first time in the penalty box. I didn't get the penalty, I was just serving it. It was a 1-1 tie.


Me and Matt Grace waiting to do our warm up run...



I was really tired that night.

The next day our first game was at 2:00pm. So we had breakfast, and then went for a swim in the pool. Then we got ready for the game. We palyed another NB team...The Screaming Eagles. They were good. We won that game 4-3. The Lightening needed to win against the Tommies for us to make the playoffs, but they hadn't won a game all year. They lost. Then at 8:00pm, we played The Titans. In the dressing room the coach told us that if we won one more game, we would have broke the record for most games won for Thunder. It was our final game. We didn't get off to a good start, and we ended up losing 9-3.








When we got back to the hotel, a bunch of us played mini hockey in the coach's room. We played until midnight! Dad helped us. It was a lot of fun!

In the morning we went to breakfast, and saw Zander and Brody (a Thunder player and his little brother) We talked to them for awhile. When we were about to leave I saw my friend Matt Q. He told me, he won one, and lost three, and all of their games they lost by one. They didn't make it to the playoff's either. Cougar's lost to the Hurricanes! So the Hurricanes went to the final game. But, at breakfast, another team told us they had put their really good guy on for the whole game. The Hurricanes would have played The Tommies. I haven't heard yet who won.

My friend Morgan Lunn's mom, picked up a Thunder shirt for me. It has the Thunder sign on the front, and all of our name son the back. I love it!

We made a lot of pit stops on the way home. We went to the mountain place, in Parrsboro, and climbed up this big hill. We saw the water. It was beautiful.

When we got home I was really tired, and went fast asleep. The weekend was AWESOME!!!

  • Cool, Noah! You guys sure have fun on the Thunder. Ben would love it!! I can't believe you stayed up until midnight...you must have been really tired on the way home. What a great season!

  • Noah, you played really hard in the New Brunswick tournament. I can't believe how much your team had improved since the first time I saw you all trying out at Christmas time.

    I am sad that the Thunder season is over, but, soon it will be time for the Mooseheads training camp and your own season to start again.
    I was very proud of the way you played so hard and listened so well to the coaches this year.

    See you soon.
    Papa
