16U KWings vs GRAHA

 The 16U KWings had two games against GRAHA today.  Will did a good job on the penalty kill - he's gotten really good at trapping the puck along the board even when he's out numbered.  He also ended up with a goal that deflected off him and into the net.  Aunt Mara and Uncle Ken went to the first game and Grandma came to the second.  

Middle School Band Night

Alex participated in Middle School Band Night again this year.  They had practice on Thursday night with the high school kids and then got to march with the high school band in the homecoming parade on Friday.  Then, they sat in the stands during the first half of the game and played along with four of their game day songs:  Onward Portage, The Hey Song, Let's Go Blue, and Eat 'Em Up.  He had a lot of fun and is looking forward to marching band next year. 

 

16U Tournament in Fraser, MI

The 16U Kwings had a tournament in Fraser this weekend at Big Boy arena. Will had a good weekend with three goals and an assist. He also had a lot of fun with his teammates: we went out to team meals, the used the hot tub at the hotel, went to a free play arcade near the rink, and went to a cool Korean Market that had all sorts of interesting snack and candies.

LCAHL Kick-off

Alex had his first hockey tournament in Detroit this weekend. Phil stayed with him but I was able to make it to one of his games on Saturday in between Will's games at Big Boy Arena. On Sunday, I took Alex to his final game while Phil and Will went to Comerica Park for the Tiger's last regular season home game.

 

Final Dinner at Wings West

One last dinner at Burdick's. We are hoping it's just "goodbye for now" but in case it isn't, thank you Wings West for all the memories and friendships. It's been a great 11 years.

 

First Day of 11th and 8th

Have a great year boys!

 

Summer 2025 - Week 11

We had a quick visit from Uncle Andrew to wrap up Summer 2025.  He arrived on Thursday and we spent the afternoon playing yard games.  Will had a meeting at school and the rest of us went downtown to Bell’s (Will met is after his meeting).  We had dinner and played cards.  On Friday morning, we played disc golf at the WMU course before Phil and Andrew left for Detroit.  Will had hockey games on Saturday and Sunday.
