This last weekend was a hockey weekend. Of course it was, it was a long holiday weekend wasn't it? Littleton hosted a tournament this weekend and Dillon had five different games to play in. His team did pretty well and they made it to the semi-final game Monday morning. It was a great game, very evenly matched. One team would score, and the other would soon even it up.
We were headed into the last two minutes of play when all of a sudden, the other team scores. They are up by one!
Dillon is in goal.
Kevin is coaching.
The play continues. Kevin calls Dillon to the bench so that we could have an extra shooter on the ice.
Dillon heads for the bench when the other team breaks away with the puck.
They are headed for the empty net.
Dillon attempts to dive back into place, but just barely misses the puck.
They are now up by two points and although Littleton was able to score another goal, they still lost the game by one.
Dillon is upset and crying in the locker room. Kevin, ever the coach, leans in to talk with him. "So Dillon, did you learn anything today?"
Without hesitation he answers...
"Yeah, never listen to your dad when he is calling you to the bench!"
