The 2010 Flames have one scheduled travel tournament this season. Again this season, the tournament was played in October. And, again, it was down south. This time the 2010 Flames played in Charleston, SC. It was a tremendous trip. Good hockey and near perfect weather, all with a hockey family that is second to none.
Our family was up in the Sunapee-Kearsarge Region of NH for the weekend. It was a wedding weekend at Ragged Mountain Resort for us. Meanwhile the 2010 Flames played three games.
It was late on Sunday afternoon when I walked slowly into West Side Arena to watch the 2010 Flames play their first game in 15 days. Very rarely, do I watch a Flames game with ear buds in, but Sunday I had them in and turned up.

I received a few different severe weather alerts on my phone this afternoon. There were threatening skies in the area, and many more areas received high winds, rain, and who knows what else. In Rochester though, the storms stayed away and two pitchers took matters into their own hands, both going the distance. Goffstown won 2-1 in a 7-inning game that was finished in less than 2 hours.
