Hello everyone sorry for the delay in blogs it's been a busy couple days of relaxing and enjoying some days off after we swept the first round on friday night. It was a back and forth game ending in a 7 - 6 final with the winning goal scored by Les Reaney just over 2 minutes into OT, it was a very exciting finish in front a packed Civic Centre. The boys couldn't get over how defining loud the arena was after we finished shaking hands and saluted undoubtable the best fans myself and the majority of our team has ever played in front of. Aside from the GWG I'm pretty sure the highlight of the series must have been the second goal on friday, an 800 mph slapper from yours truly. kidding of course! But not really.....

The real enjoyment came when Les scored in OT and they credited Jarvis for the goal and made him first star!!!! not only that but made a nice long announcement and intro before he made his skate onto the ice hahaha brilliant!!

The hard hat of the night was handed to Brenden Cook another Bemiji State winner which isn't a big surprise you can throw that helmet in the room blind folded and there's a great chance it's hitting someone from Bemiji. The big question will be what Cookie will write on the helmet, hopefully he'll learn from his alum teammate and write it out first with pencil then trace over it so he can erase any mistakes.

With an entire week off before we start the next round we'll be looking for some nice weather and a chance to get several rounds of golf in, i'll stay in touch i hope everyone has a great week.
Also I ask that you keep Missouri's player assistant coach Jeff Christian's daughter Ryan in your thoughts and prayers as we all hope for the best for Ryan and the Christian family in there battle.

  1. Great game, crazy crowd, couldn't have asked for a better night of hockey. Missouri went out with heart and guts, many stick taps to them for that!
    And, way to show some serious class from yourself and the team, in thinking of Ryan Christian. I know the Boosters set up a donation fund for a couple of games and sent some money that way. I believe the money was split with David Simoes family to help with expenses for his baby girl.
    Complete class by the Rush and their fans! One more reason why the team and fans are the best in the CHL!
