Last night the Moses Lake Hockey Association hosted a Hockey Festival for the community. The biggest part of the festival was that the Wenatchee Wild (the newest pro team in the northwest) came to town and helped kick it off. The Wild posed for pictures, played ice games with the youth and had shootout competitions. One of the highlights of the night for Kevakin was that he got to take shots from some of the pro hockey players.The biggest highlight for Tyler was his amazing score and some pretty cool blocks.
Tyler was chosen as goalie while the Wenatchee Wild took turns showing off their "trick shots" to the fans. Tyler was very happy with his 100% blocked record! Not even the pros could get past him!
The shot of the night came toward the end. Mac Carruth (Wenatchee Wild Goalie) took his place in the net and let everyone shoot on him. He was also 100%. At least until it came to the "Goalie on Goalie" shot. Tyler skated down the ice toward the net. Just about 3 feet from the goalie crease he shoots... deflected of Mac's trapper and the puck goes top shelf into the net. Tyler threw his stick down, did a belly flop on the ice and swam a few strokes in victory. The crowd erupted in cheers and Tyler went home with a signed puck from team and a pretty big head. We just hope it goes down by next weekend so it will fit in his helmet for the tournament in tri-cities.
We won an autographed hockey jersey, 2 tickets to a game in January and went home a happy hockey family.... the end.
