Last weekend Jon participated in the NAHL Showcase for the second year in a row. The NA Showcase is one of the largest hockey events in the world. Five days with games from 7:30am to 11:30pm on 8 sheets of ice all under one roof at the Schwan's Super Rink in Blaine. All the teams in the NA play four games in four days. The high school fall league Jon is playing in played three games over the weekend. There are other leagues there, u16 and u18 divisions. The PHL and NAPHL leagues. All the leagues are confusing and I am just starting to figure it out. I think.
Another weekend wedding kept me close to home but his second game wasn't until 9:30 Saturday night so made the trek down with Jens. We were hoping to catch some bits and pieces of the NA games but the timing didn't work. We did catch some other UMHSEL games which included Shattuck participating for the first weekend. Some great hockey and a lot of really good players.
NA team Aberdeen Wings loaded up and ready to "fly" home.
The week before the bike race I was watching the weather. Every weekend since then I have done the same. Thankfully we were able to have all three ceremonies outside. Last weekend was nip and tuck but after a rain shower it dried just enough to have outside. I've still found the Intellicast site to be the most useful for forecast models runs 2-6 hours out. The phone app is really good and quite accurate historically since I have been using it in the spring.
Big thanks to Kriston Wenzel for helping out the last three weekends!
Jack is nearing the end of the cc season but doesn't seem like it with the weather getting warmer each meet!
The colors hit their peak this week. Leaves really dropping fast the past few days but should have another few weeks of some color. Finally got out working on some new trail and getting easier to see through the woods.
