Apple Cup 2008 Hockey Tournament

The advertisement at the end of the rink "you're in good hands" was not an invitation to join Tyler in his goalie crease. However that is the way it ended up.
Ty played 4 games at Moses Lake's first ever tournament held in Wenatchee. The scores were 18-0, 13-0, 12-0 and 11-0. The team as a whole, walked away with new found appreciation for the game and a desire to get better. At the end of the tournament, the Moses Lake team was recognized during the awards presentation and given a standing ovation for their efforts in even attending such an event. Not only was this Moses Lake's first tournament, it was their first game together... ever!
In a 4 game tournament, a goalie will defend about 80 shots on goal. Tyler defended more than 250 this weekend. That helps explain the MVP award he received. Regardless of the scores, it was a wonderful time and certainly beat going to a baseball game.

Congratulations Ty! I would love to come and watch a game. I would love to come and watch your dad play too, but he would forget I was even there.

Thanks for sharing. Congrats to Ty. Looks fun, but dangerous. Do you remember talking to us Craig? Love you much, mom
