Family Time?

Tonight was  the last home league fixture for Braehead Clan, and a final chance for the juniors to play on Clan ice in front of a sell out crowd.  Many of you will know Mimi has really thrown herself into the net minding role and is being very successful, a shut out last night in a training game and again tonight in front of the full house.

With a few minute to go until the juniors took the ice a shout came along the dressing room asking if I had my skates, they were hastily retrieved and donned as they were a linesman down, a borrowed helmet and the largest of the juniors tops and I was chucked out too, goals moved for the cross ice challenge and skate a line.  This photo was caught by mum Mimi in profile and dad trying to catch a breath... not my finest hour as I am now struggling but I would not have seen the kids go with out enough cover on the ice that would have restricted their efforts.
