Our third game was against the Durango Fury. They were a lot like the Pueblo team, great sportsmanship and so much fun to play. We had a lot of scoring opportunities we were able to take advantage of and we achieved the win again.

Our fourth game, and second day, we played the Pueblo team again. It was very similar to the first game, and we won. It was a good warm up for the Championship game.

Our fifth and last game of the tournament, we were hoping to play the Durango Betties, but they had lost to the Hellcats in overtime the night before, so we ended up playing the Hellcats again. An older and more experienced team, we worked hard and it was a back and forth game. The refs had been calling the game pretty one-sided, and were letting a lot of hits and dirty plays go uncalled. They were even contradicting each other on some rules. Stan tried to clarify which rules were correct, and the refs didn’t like it and threw him off the bench. In the last minute of the game we were down by one and the clock was on run-time. Emily was able to sink a beauty and keep us in the game. We battled through overtime with no goals, bringing it to a shoot-out. What better way for a championship game to end? As stated before, Suzy is the greatest goalie in the world, and we were confident she would stop any challenger. We opted for last shot, and Suzy stopped all 3 of the Hellcats. After two shots we also were scoreless. Jonica and Katie had food poisoning the night before, so Jodi wasn’t sure if Jonica would be alright to shoot, but Suzy called for her from the ice so Jonica stepped on the ice for the last shot. She had a slow approach to the net, but her shot was fast, throwing off the goalie and winning the championship! Deja Vu anyone? How about Boise a year ago vs the Diamonds?

After the game as we attempted to take a group photo the Zamboni driver tried to run us over. Then we wanted to take a picture with Stan, but some ref from the day before had told him he had to leave the entire facility, not just the bench. When Stan refused to leave, because he was only told to leave the bench and was in an entirely different room so as not to influence the game, the idiot ref called the cops and then Stan had to wait outside to hear the outcome of the game and for photos. We got our photos, and no matter how much the refs didn’t like us or Stan we won the championship.
