Andrew's Hockey Game

Saturday was a big day in the Mushett household in regards to its favorite sport - hockey. Andrew had his game which was moved from Mariucci Arena to Ridder Arena (the women's rink at the U). He was bummed about not getting to play at Mariucci, but then he thought about how many Olympians have played on the Ridder rink and he was pretty excited.

His team won 4-2 and Andrew scored an empty net goal to seal the win. The funny part though was Andrew intercepted a shot from his teammate that was heading toward the goal and shot it in himself. :) Actually, although it was funny and he felt he needed to apologize, it was a smart play because if the puck missed the goal, it would have been icing. Here is the video of Andrew's goal (excuse the poor videography and the commentary!)

Then that night, Notre Dame upset Michigan State and advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four in Denver. Since Andrew is obsessed with Notre Dame hockey, you can only imagine how excited he is. He is still trying to figure out how he is going to get out there, but knowing him, he will make it happen.

The only other news from the weekend is that I have pink eye, strep throat and a double ear infection. Now I understand why kids cry so much when they get these things. I have not had an ear infection since I was seven. They are the most painful things. Just horrible. I am home today trying to get better.

We are supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow today. Ugh. Is summer ever going to come?
