After a spirited win against the Cyclones in one of the more intense scrimmages I have seen, the Flames had to play a tough Rochester team early the following morning.
For some details on the game, you would need to know this, Flames score, Rochester scores, Flames score, Rochester scores, Flames score, Rochester scores, final, 3-3. In between, there were penalties, injuries, stoppages, and a lot of shots on goal.
Perhaps because I had only been to one Flames hockey game since before Veteran’s Day (thank you) prior to this weekend, I took a whole bunch of pictures of the game vs. Rochester. I don’t know if any of them are any good, but I am warning you all that I am going to include a whole bunch of them below.
I hope you enjoy the pictures that literally capture just a fraction of a second of action. I certainly enjoy watching the kids play hockey. Honestly, I like watching our kids and all of the kids on other teams. Kids playing the sports that they love has always been inspirational to me. It should be pure, fun, and include far less input from parents. Being a parent of six kids who have played all kinds of sports over the years, I include myself in the previous statement. I played every sport imaginable growing up. Actually, I probably did play some sports that I imagined along the way as well. As much as my parents supported my pursuits, it was never about them, and the true joy I found in playing was solely mine, probably because they didn’t interfere at all. I was, and still am, very blessed in that way.
Anyways, check out the pictures, and click on the ones you like. Zoom in. Look at details and realize, those are our 10-year old kids making these action scenes come to life. Pretty cool. Enjoy!
I apologize, because just when you thought this might be coming to an end, I have so many more pictures! Haha!
