He Made It!!!!

Harrison had his final tryout this morning for the Jr. Thrasher Travel hockey team. He absolutely showed off!! Even after spending 16 hours playing in the sun yesterday at Brennan's tournament, he was up at 7:15 this morning ready to play! Well, maybe not at first. He isn't a morning person, so he was a little cranky. By the time he was on the ice though, he was full of energy! During the scrimmage, he scored 3 goal and had 2 assists. He had a few breakaways and hit the crossbar on one shot. At the end, they did a shootout and he made both of his goals.

The coach came up to me toward the end of the tryout to make sure we were on board with him playing. His exact words were,"He is my superstar, we'll do whatever we have to do to get this contract signed!" Even the Director of Hockey at the Ice Forum, Yan Kaminsky (an ex-NHL player) tapped Harrison on the head and told him how good he did and then told me that he is an excellent hockey player. It was pretty cool to hear that from someone that really knows what he's talking about. I mean, of course we think he's awesome, but he's our's.....so we have to!

They will start practice in August and games will start in September. Can't wait!
