Sorry but better late than sorry...

Still minus 20 was the temperature for the morning of day two!!!

Game #1
Was against team BC. They brought a very strong team to Saskatoon but like us they had a very small squad which included Cody (Alberta Turncoat), Jordan and Andrew. All three are very fast.  Surprisingly we started very strong going up on team BC by six which carried over into the second quarter. All three of the BC players are on the provincial A team and slowly but surely they chipped there way back. Wearing us down, forcing turnovers and cutting off passes. Our 6 point lead was erased by the middle of the third and we eventually lost by 5.

Game #2

Up next was the Battle of Alberta. Calgary had a couple of spares but their bench was not the same as the one that played in Calgary. Denolm, Rigby, Josh, Harrison and Kendall where the only players who made the trip. Our game was good at the beginning but we quickly took of Calgary's inexperience taking a early lead of 3 which gradually grew to 10 by the end of the game.

For the first time in years our last game ended at 2:30pm. We had a chance to head back to the hotel and took a sleep before we met for dinner. Great conversation and good food..and warmed up later in the evening which was a bonus!
