Hockey, Hockey, Hockey

Did I mention hockey?!? So, the FSIN (Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations) hockey tournamnet was on in North Battleford this past weekend, and I watched a lot of hockey. Even though I remembered to grab my camera on the way out my door Friday afternoon, I didn't manage to take any pictures...bad Trena, I know. But, it was an action packed tournament. Patuanak had 3 teams (Rec Boys, Girls, and the Pats played in the contact division) I went with Alex (from next door) and we pulled in right before the rec boys' second game. The tournament started Friday morning, but we worked until noon, so we didn't make it until around 6pm. The rec boys were out of the tournament after their second game, but they played hard and had fun. The Pats came in third in their division after putting in a good fight (they had to play 3 games back to back so they were pretty worn out) Our girls lost in a shoot out so they came in second. It was good to see them play and its always nice to be in an environment other than school to get to know the kids and people in the community. Starting to feel better about being here and missing Deline a bit less...which is good. I guess it just took some time. But, spring has arrived. The roads are slushy and the kids are full of spring fever. I caught a cold (insert sympathy here) and am back at work after a very busy weekend. Life is good. The weather has peaked my spirits a bit...now just have to finish getting rid of that slush all over our driveway so my poor little car has a chance. I realized I've moved off of the title for this post...hockey, hockey, hockey....
