ASHAR Hockey's first "W"

If you do not show up to win , the chances are you wont. Today, against a solid HAFTR team the ASHAR Hockey team showed up to win. And, win we did in one of the best hockey elementary school floor hockey games every played. It was fast. It was physical. It was exciting. Both teams gave it everything they had. It was a true hockey battle.

If you missed it, you missed something special.

Dave and I are proud of every single member of the team. From those who played so hard, to those who rooted the team on even though they did not get a chance to play.

We wear jerseys as a team. We practice as a team. We travel as a team, and we played as a team.

Special thanks to the parents in the stands who kept the team pumped up with though out the game. It was a big part of our victory.

On the bench, this player was asked to sit out this game. While not the court bench this player cheered on all his teammates whole heartedly pumping our team up. He did get on a shift or two in the end and showed all he could give us his best. Any player who sheds tears wanting to play the game so badly is player of the game in my book.

It is for that dedication that this weeks Player of the Game goes to Eli Muschel.

This one is in the records book boys. Now its time to focus on getting even stronger and setting our sites on our next win. It is a crucial game for us. Without carrying momentum this Haftr win will seem to all others as just a fluke win.

Our next game is against WDS Wed. 12/7 in Westchester. Busses leave right after dismissal. Please pack your light dinners and after game snacks.

We have the ability. Lets keep focused on the task of winning, and keep having fun doing it.
