The Ultimate Showdown

LGO Hockey! Class of 2010 vs Class of 2011

Every year, the two LGO classes take sides and play a heated game of "less than talented ice hockey". The vast majority of us are new to the sport, but we play with enough heart that our complete lack of skills don't matter.

This year, due to complications and policies, a class vs class game was not scheduled to happen. Fortunately, at the last minute Todd (our goalie, organizer, and coach) was able to pull of a miracle. On Saturday march 6th, we found out that the game would take place on Sunday March 7th.

While the Class of 11 (that's me) was prepared due to our regular season games, the 1o's scrambled to organize themselves. They did a great job acquiring, borrowing, and sharing equipment to play and showed up in full force for the game.

Come game time, the area "filled" with spectators (almost 30 people including my parents!!!). The puck hit the ice and the game began. Near the end of 3 periods of ferocious skating, missed shots, spills, and my personal favorite open ice falls (someone who falls on the own accord, no outside interferences), the Class of 11 came were ahead 3 to 1. The 10's pulled their goalie for one last effort! Luckily our defense held and we came out victorious!

Great game and great times!

A face off... one of MANY that night due to offsides, icing, and great catches by the goalies.
LGO 11's are victorious!
