After overtime and 3 shoot-outs, Joey's season did NOT end today! It was a battle of the Sharks with both team wearing navy and it was intense! Joey played offense during the second quarter, goalie during the third (no goals scored on him), and offense during the fourth. While he much prefers playing defense, he had a few good plays on offense and did great as the keeper. When the game went into overtime, he went in during the second 5-minute period on defense. The game was still tied at the end of overtime, so the Sharks went into the first of 3 shootouts. Since Joey was in the game during overtime he got to take the goal shots. Sadly, he didn't make any, but he handled it well. No tears for our boy which is definitely progress:)
Tomorrow afternoon, his team will play again and get their well-deserved trophies. Not bad for a team that went into tournaments 2-7!
The best part of all is that Joey has grown to enjoy the game and wants to play again next season!
