Congressional Cup Fall Classic

SemiFinal

#4 seed 2010 Flames at #1 Stamford Sharks

The 2010 Flames are made up of players born in 2010 and 2011. They are a U14 Minor 2 team (meaning there is a Minor 1 team ahead of them) in their home organization. I have called this team a development team for years. Yet, every year, this team seems to be a great place for players and families to land. Monday they played a very good team in the Congressional Cup Fall Classic SemiFinal, the Stamford Sharks (U14 Major), and lost, 9-1.

2010 Flames at Delaware Ducks

2010 Flames vs. Clearwater Ice Storm

The 2010 Flames battled and found a way to win a tough game against the Delaware Ducks, 4-0.

During the game I was talking with an official for the tournament who was off duty for the game. He was a real nice guy, and we chatted some. He asked me about our team, our team dynamic. I told him how much the kids have had enjoyed playing with this group primarily due to the kids being able to play in all situations, line after line, shorthanded, power play, end of game, etc. installing confidence in the kids from top to bottom no matter how you slice it. I told him that we were fortunate to have a coach, one voice, that just let the kids play.

2010 Flames vs. Richmond Generals

After all the players and assorted members of their families arrived in Washington, DC or Sterling, VA to begin tournament play, it was time to take the ice. The first game was scheduled at 1:50pm and started a few minutes late. The 2010 Flames took a 2-0 lead after one period and squeezed a third goal out of the second period, before adding three more in the final period. The Flames were off to a good start with a 6-0 victory on Saturday afternoon.

In a nutshell, goals can be scored without assists, but assists cannot be recorded without goals. Assists are the passes that lead to goals. Passes don’t always lead to goals, but they do utilize teammates and usually make everyone on the ice a threat to score.

Many a goal against the opening opponent. The scheduler lines them up. The kids play the games. The Flames scored early, and more often as the game went on and cruised to a 14-1 win in the opener.

In a season that didn’t know when to quit, it suited the 2010 Flames (The 2 Team) just fine. Because this team doesn’t know how to quit.
