This past weekend we played against one of our top rivals, the other team from the 92nd district, the Athlétic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt (ACBB). Unfortunatly for us, it was not one of our better efforts as we seemed to take a step back in our progress after two solid weeks of play. Our strengths became our weaknesses and the result was a 9-9 tie against a team that has not yet won a game. I have to give ACBB credit however as they came to play and capitalized on our mistakes.
It was a tough game despite the score as each team would score one or two goals followed by a couple of goals in responce from the other team. Andronik had another solid game with 4 goals and my defence partner with a cannon of a shot, Olivier Ducam, netted the hat trick. Of course, in a game where you score nine goals, offence is not the problem.
We took too many penalties again and our penalty killing was not as good as it has been. Tommi (our goalie) also struggled a little bit and probably gave up a couple of goals that he would have normally stopped. Anyway, it was a tough result for us to accept.
This week, we have the weekend off as there are no games this weekend in the league due to school holidays. So we are having a weeklong training camp where we are back to two-a-days consisting of both on and off-ice workouts. I think it will be good for us as we continue to grow and improve as a team.

Hi Big D
I see you got your sweater "#13" and it looks good even if you only got a tie. Just a few words on spelling - in winning a game the word is spelled "won" not "one" and I believe you didn't spell "there" correctly either as you used "their". Sorry about that David - just the teacher coming out of me. Love Mom :) :)
PS - Great recap of the game.
Thanks Mom. I only had time to write and post, so I missed a few errors. I think I got them corrected now.
Yes, I finally received my new jerseys. They will have my nameplate and the "A" stiched on for the next game as well.
I am laughing over here Karen! Nice to see your number on there David.
Way to represent the #13! Our jerseys fore our teem just came in as well but wee only have even numbers. Any number you suggest? What were you fore you're last year at Augustana? Any make sure you spell check... its embarrassing!
Mark...your an a$$. But I'm still laughing. I promise to spell check before posting in the future if I'm not in too much of a hurry.
My last year at Augustana (and all four years), I wore number 20. It was pretty solid. Some current NHL players wearing number 20 are Colby Armstrong (Atlanta), Daniel Paille (Buffalo), Richard Zednik (Florida), and Fredrik Sjostrom (NY Rangers). Lots of big names.
FYI... I was poking fun at Mom for being so.... teacherish! I ended up with #5. I figured I've passed on the torch of #13 I'll revert back to the comforts of when I was young.
Good luck this weekend!
