Saturday night (the 17th) we had our second annual Giant Shinny Thingamadoo. Unfortunately this year it wasn't quite as giant as the first one. Last year we had over 20 people, this year only twelve: six per team, which mean no subs for an hour of hockey. I was disappointed that more girls from the team didn't show up. There were initially about ten of us signed up but it ended up being just me, Debbbbie and one other girl, plus our friends and family (and Kristy and Cara took photos). I know that there were many hockey girls who wanted to come, but unfortunately they had exams in the next couple of days and didn't feel they could afford the time away from studying (what dedication, I wish I'd had that dedication).

If I can get it to work without eating my blog again (this is attempt number four) there will be photos below.
