Chicago Thanksgiving Classic

It was Alex's turn to have a hockey tournament in Chicago. We drove down on Friday for their first of 4 games. They beat the Hoffmann Estates Wolf Pack 8-1 and Alex scored a goal. On Saturday morning, they lost to Belle Tire 7-1. They kept it close through 2 periods but then the wheels came off in the third. The Belle Tire team was made of kids that were a year older than our boys. On Saturday afternoon, they lost to the South Bend Irish Rovers 3-2. Unfortunately, that loss landed us in the consolation game on Sunday morning rather than the championship. The boys had to play Hoffmann Estates again and won 4-1. They went 2-2 on the weekend and had lots of fun at team meals and hanging out at the hotel.
