Another hockey weekend in Nashville, TN! JJ is on spring break this week, so they were able to leave during the day for his first game Friday afternoon.
Friday, March 16th: Loss 1-4. Apparently, the game wasn't called even close to fair. JJ's team kept getting penalties for things that they didn't even do. The other team didn't get penalties that they should have gotten! This is just my opinion, but why do refs do that? It doesn't matter if their son or daughter, or nephew, or neighbor's uncle's son is on the team. Refs are called to be fair, nonjudgmental, and not biased against any team or favorable to any team.
Good news, though. Once again, JJ made both goals in the shootout! JJ, that's awesome!
Saturday, March 17th: Loss 2-6. JJ made a goal. Yay!
He also got in a fight with with two guys from the other team. Yep, two at once! They hit our goalie with their stick way after the whistle was blown. The result? Those kids got nailed by JJ, who took them on even though he was much smaller than they were. While Jeremy (and JJ's grandaddy!) are trying to teach JJ fairness in hockey, when to check and when not to, when to stand up for himself, don't start anything but defend yourself, things like that...still, we can't help but be proud that JJ stood up for his teammate like he did.
Saturday, March 17th: WIN 5-2 against Agame. JJ made a goal and had an assist!
Sunday, March 18th: WIN 4-1 against Agame. JJ made another goal!

Invite to Nashville games
JJ was invited to play on another team this weekend in Nashville. He did great! And, he's probably having fun there as well because they stayed at the Opryland Hotel. You know...that huge gigantic hotel where you can get lost just going from the check-in desk to your room! Jeremy's text said: "We're here and had at least a mile walk from the parking lot to our room".
They played one game on Friday, so JJ got a day out of school. They had games on Saturday and Sunday, as well as some skills competition. In the showdown, JJ was the only one to make both goals in a shootout competition. Way to go, JJ!!
Friday game: WIN, 5-4. JJ had one goal.
Saturday game: WIN, 6-2. JJ had two goals. This was against the Mid South Ice House!
Sunday games:
game 1: Lost 6-8. (Can't win them all) JJ did great, though. He had 3 goals and 3 assists.
game 2: They played the same team that they lost against earlier today. This is the championship game for this tournament. At the end of the game, some of the kids got JJ against the boards, and he hit the boards fairly hard. He came home in pain as he was hurting pretty bad. Coaches?? Refs?? Parents of those kids who did this?? Just got to shake my head sometimes, but it's over with and JJ will be fine. I'm still proud of the way he played. Get 'em next time, JJ!!!
