He can sleep now

December 11, 2005 C fulfilled another dream he had ... he helped his pal, M, score his first goal ever! It was, in a word, magnificent!

The pass was perfect, it was a backhand pass to M, who took it an shot it hard into the net- right passed the goalie. Right through to the back of the net. Arms raised, fists pumped, parents jumping, coaches thanking the heavens!

M scored!! And C helped!!

He told Coach J he'd do that .. he said "all I want to do is help M score his first goal". He stayed up past 11:30 PM one night at the tournament thinking and shifting in his bed about exactly how he'd do just that.

Coach J enlisted C into his heart that night, forever.

You see, M is Coach's son. C is M's line mate, and already a good friend.

If Coach J has his way, M & C & M will be together on a line for 6, maybe 8 years. Making them unstoppable.

Making them, in a word, magnificent.

This thing they call hockey .... magnificent.
