Hockey....hurt

Jayms is really enjoying his hockey this year. He is playing on Interlake's Bantam team. It really cool to see a bunch of young kids bond, and develop at a enormous rate. Realisticly we are a AA team, as the team was picked with this in mind. As our team has no option of playing more than exhibition games in the winnipeg AAA league, this team was chosen to participate in the AA bantam provincials. We have been gearing up for this all year and the team that was blown out in many games against the stronger winnipeg teams, are now competing very well. Winnipeg's Hawks are undefeated and we have played them twice within a goal and a couple goals. Most recently lost to the monarchs in a shootout. We have wins against monarchs and warriors, and have been handling Brandan all season, in spite of the first two of three games going to a shootout. Last three wins have been convincing wins. So where is Jayms in all of this? Playing on the third line and accepting this position very well. This is the first time in his career where he has taken this role of the team. Great to see good attitude and spirit, where as a parent you feel for him. He has a teammate about a inch taller than him, so he has someone to compare to. This guy plays powerplays and penalty kills, which gives him more ice time than Jayms.

Jayms sustained a upper body injury which has kept him out of action for a week now. He is having to miss the POE camp this weekend. So I am always reminded how little control we have over situations in hockey. He has never been out due to a injury which is a minor miricle in spite of his size. Team has a week off of games this next week so with a few physico (spelling please) should be ready for his provincial schedule.
