The last night of the hockey

 

Quinn played for JPC Intermediate Black this year.  Being selected for the A grade team meant longer practises, and more training time.  The games are longer than Junior hockey, and it is cold nights for the supporters.  I always took along some hot chocolate.  One night it was snowing.  Other nights the turf would start to freeze after 8pm. 

The games in the season were intense, and the competition fierce.  The team finished runner up to Taupo in their grade. The last night of the hockey season was a 6 aside tournament, dressing up, and lots of fun.

 

Quinn and team mates

Unfortunately the hat kept coming off during game play

A rainbow at the start of the evening was a good sign.  

 One of the teams were dressed as superheros.  Perhaps capes should make a comeback.

 Quinn scored goals in every game.  The games were exciting to watch.

 Another goal past Superman.

 At the end of the evening I was frozen, had no voice left from cheering the team on.  It was a briliant night.

JPC Black won the tournament, and got a trophy to take back to school.
