The Calgary Flames of the NHL is his favorite hockey team so this was my attempt at throwing their "flaming C" in there!
Here are the players enjoying hockey food..hotdogs, fries and rootbeer!
I love this picture. Look at the air that coach Curtis has got under his feet. He was certainly a big part of the game..we were short a few players so much to Carter's delight his dad was happy to fill in! Curtis even gave the players a little history of hockey and how it all got started..I think he's a little proud that it originated in CANADA!
Here are the tough guys! The game ended in a 3-3 tie so it was shoot the ball at Carter to see if anyone could score. I think only one player scored sort of. Carter was quite proud of himself! For the record, L to R: Tait Belnap, Kailor King, Josh Gibb, Carter H. Jaratt Earle, Brigham Gardner, Seth Dotson, Carter Riddle and Caden. Bradley Mendenhall came to the dinner portion of the party but had to leave for a baseball game. The only other 2 players that were missing were Kristian Dalley and Braden James..so a pretty good turn out! Caden was quite happy with himself as well since he scored 2 goals for his team. The other team was requesting him to move over to them but he remained loyal. He felt VERY needed..I love confident building moments..I think he felt like a million bucks!
Since Carter does NOT like cake this was an alternative..icecream sandwich hockey sticks. Easy easy! They even have peanut butter ones now!
I am so happy that Carter had a great time..mission accomplished! The boys went home with a gatorade and Mike Ikes box of candy..sugar 'em up..just what their parents wanted I'm sure! Oh ya, Carter earned some more money with a grand total of $110.00. Isn't that crazy?! I would have been dying to get that when I was 10. Thanks everyone. Curtis and I promised him that if he received $100.00 then we would make up the rest to buy him a DSi. He loves it! FUN!
