When I wrote my Ice hockey tournament 2 I actually had another tournament just before I wrote it.
Well, this time we went to yet another place. The sandstorms had two teams this time, a red one and one white. This city is much closer so we took a car there. an annoying 7 and a half hour car drive to the city [my school has forbidden (actually recomended, but still) anyone from saying the cities since that might affect our safty, even though some people might know where i am from and where i currently live, not the same place you know, it is strange living in another country I think but you get used to it after three, four years] (wow! that was a long parenthesis!). I had to sit next to my broter Pontus (he was playing his PSP, it was an interesting game i can tell you). In the front my mom, Anna, and my dad, Lars, who was the driver for most of the trip. In the very back Lisa, my smallest sister (she’s three I think and turning four in May), Isak, my other brother, and Elin my other sister. So you see, I am from a family of 7 and a dog and many fish. Well back to the drive, the drive was long and boring as we were driving through a barren landscape with few trees and almost no cities. I watched two or three classical movies on the way there: Ocean’s 11 and Ocean’s 13; and slept on the way back. Well, after a few long hours we got to the hotel…
The hotel was beautiful, but after having been there about five to ten times before and to better hotels (like the Mi Casa, Kuala Lumpur) it didn’t seem so much. We did get a bottom suite and a large garden though so it was nice. plus it was only a short walk to the pool, so you can guess where I spent my Friday. Me, Stefan, Julian, James, and Pontus spent all day at the kind-of-very-nice pool, they had a trampoline and a hot tub. the hot tub/jaccuci was extremly relaxing. If I ever go into pro hockey I want to be in a team with a jaccuci in the changing room. Well, on Friday my brother, Isak, his team came either fourth or fifth.
On Saturday Me and Pontus played.As I may have said, I am a goalie (and I must say, ’tis a thankless job). Well we had borrowed Evan again. The Sandstorms didn’t have their good goalie so the outcome was as expected, we killed them totally. Our first game against the host city we won about 21 to 2. I mean, I had to let them score, I mean come on 21 to 2!!! There wasn’t much they could do. The second game was no more fun for me I got the first shot after 25 minutes!!! They scored one in that game I think (this was against the red Sandstorms), we won about 15 to one or something like that (Im not even sure that they scored even one goal). the third game was the most challenging by far, we lost 2 to 0… Just kidding! they scored 2 goals though but we scored 8-10 goals so…
In general I thought this was an easy tournament. That is all for now folks. Here is a picture of my favorite hockey goalie, Henrik Lundqvist.
I got this image here.
