As mentioned in my last post, Lucas had his first "real" hockey game this past Saturday morning. By "real," I mean that they had refs, kept score, called offsides/icing, and keep track of the results in the standings. Last year, they played games, but those were just for fun.
Despite the fact the Coyotes (Lucas's team, in case I haven't mention it before) lost 5-2, Lucas played well and had a good time. He was on the same line throughout the game, and they scored once and were scored on once. Not bad considering one of the Chinese kids on his line didn't appear to realize he was at a hockey game, as he skated around in circles and generally ignored the puck. Note that I said "one of" above. Lucas had two Chinese kids on his line, plus there is at least one other Chinese boy and an Indian girl on his team. So much for the stereotype of just white people in hockey, eh?
Lucas chose to play defense, and he did a decent job. He also had a shot on goal, which he narrowly missed. All in all, it was a fun time, and we're looking forward to seeing many more games this season. I haven't uploaded any pictures yet, but I plan to do that tomorrow and have another post up shortly afterwards.
