Cache Valley Wild versus East High Leopards
September 8, 2008

By JACK BRITTAIN

A hard hitting game against a Cache Valley team that came to play and stayed in the game until the very end. East jumped to an early 1-0 lead, but Cache Valley came back to tie the game in the first period. East answered immediately to go up 2-1. A very physical first period ended 2-1, and it remained 2-1 throughout most of the second period as the two defenses dominated (East only allowed 4 shots on goal in the second period). Cache Valley tied the score 2-2 with 1:49 left in the second period, but East scored off the faceoff to go ahead 3-2 and then scored again with 22 seconds left in the period to end the second period ahead 4-2. East went ahead 5-2 in the third period, but Cache Valley battled back with two scores within 30 seconds in the middle of the third period to make the score 5-4. The teams were in a defensive deadlock the remainder of the third period until East scored with 22 seconds left in the game and then again with 14 seconds left to make the final score 7-4.

Cache Valley is an independent team, which means they draw players from several different high schools (East is a school-affiliated team, which means all the players come from one high school). They are one of the better independent teams in the state, and the team is largely the same as the Cache Valley Wild travel team, which is a tournament team. East is a talented team as well with several travel and travel-caliber players and matched up well with the Wild. This was an excellent opening game that tested East's lines and gave everyone a chance to see how prepared East is for the regular season. The only negative in the game is Alex Brittain is out with a torn MCL, which is a knee injury. No surgery, but 6 weeks to heal and rehabilitate his knee.

The Cost of Raising A Hockey Player

A recent issue of The Hockey News featured an article about NHL sophomore, Patrick Kane and how much time and money his parents invested in his hockey career. The Kane's estimate they've spent almost $144,000 from the time he started playing hockey until he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks last summer. Great article and it got me thinking.

I decided to try and figure out how much it has cost to get JJ to this point in his hockey career as well. JJ started playing hockey during the Summer of 1996 at age 5. He started traveling in the Fall of 2000. I only included team dues, equipment, travel costs, camp fees, and medical costs (broken finger, broken collarbone). All right, you ready for this? From 1996-97 thru last season 2007-2008 we are at about $65,000. Wow. If it takes a village to raise a child, then it must take an entire planet to raise a hockey player. JJ has certainly not gotten this far on his own. He has been fortunate to have 100s of people involved with his rearing. He is definitely the luckiest kid in the village and just maybe the luckiest kid on the planet.

RESULTS! San Jose Jr. Sharks Tournament

Submitted by JJ ZIEGLER

Chadders hockey finally started labor day weekend. We had four practices til our first tournament in San Jose. We left for San Jose friday August 29th at 10pm. Our team rode the bus to San Jose. It was a pretty quick drive down there because we left pretty late so everyone just slept the whole way. When we arrived in San Jose we went straight to the rink to play our first game.

Our first game was against the San Jose Jr. Sharks. The game was really close. We were down 4-3 after the second period. The Jr. Sharks scored a quick one in the 3rd to make it 5-3. We pulled our goalie late in the third and they scored on the empty net making the final score 6-3. After the game we went to the hotel, checked in and I took a quick nap because we had another game at 8:15pm. I roomed with Josh Harris, Hampus (Swedish Goalie), and Donny Harris. It was a very relaxed room.

Our next game was against the San Diego Gulls. Our team started out horribly. The Gulls scored two quick goals in the first period making it 2-0. Alex Halloran answered right back to make it 2-1. The Gulls then rushed the puck right off the face off and made it 3-1. We struggled through the period and managed to tie it up before the period ended. We came to play in the second and scored three more goals by the end of the period. San Diego only scored one which made the score 6-4 by the end of the second. Not much happened in the third both teams each got a goal giving us the win 7-5. I got the sixth goal of the game.

The next game we played the California Wave. We started this game out even worse then before. At the end of the first it was 3-1 Wave. We stepped it up in the second and made the score 4-3 Wave. We finally started playing our game in the third but the Wave held us off and got an empty net goal making the final score 5-3. So we now had two losses with one win. Things we looking ok, but we had to kill the next team in order for us to have a shot at the championship.

That night we played the Houston Wild. We absolutley killed them. Mikko Akais from Finaland got four goals, I got one goal, henry had two, Halloran had one, and Gustav had one. We won the game 9-0. We had enough points in this game to make the championship.

We got our rematch with the Jr. Sharks. The game was very close. By the end of the second period the score was 3-2 Sharks. We fought hard, but luck was just not with us and we ended up loosing 4-3.

All in all it was a very good tournament. Everyone bonded good and we learned what we need to work on for future tournaments.
