Outside reading 6

I have just finished my book and i really liked it. It had a great ending
and i would recommend it to anyone interested in hockey because it has a lot of
suspense and is a good book ended with The 00-01 Jefferson Jaguars losing
in the Semi finals at state to the powerhouse, The Edina Hornets. Before even
going into the game they were the underdog but with 30 seconds left the captain
and star of the Hornets score a fluke goal to take the lead and ultimately the
game. The Jaguars season came to an end without counting the third place game
which they ended up winning. The next year they would make it to state also and
later win it. But not under the best Coach in Jefferson history. "Sats" as they
called him in the book was the most recognized coach in all of Bloomington. Some
say in the state of Minnesota. He was happy that year with the success they had.
Because before the season some called him crazy for the team he picked but know
everyone knows why he did what he did and how great of a coach he really
was.

My last day in Green Valley. Thank you Jesus. I am getting closer and closer to the end of the book and it is getting really good. The head coach is skating them very hard in every practice for a good 2 weeks all preparing for one of there biggest games of the year. They are playing the powerhouse Edina Hornets. They are the #1 team in the state with a record of 29-1-1. One of the best records ever recorded in history. They will also be one of only 4 teams in all of Minnesota history to have a 30 win season. That is if the Jaguars lose again to them. In the last game of the year the Jaguars stood a decent 25-5-2. They were currently 5th in state and win there would put them in 4th going into the tournament. The game had just begun and the Jaguars came out flying and 2 minutes into the game got the first goal. It was the third period before anyone else score and Edina put up 2 goals quick to take the lead. But with 7 Minutes left the captain tied it up. Then before you new it was overtime and 42 seconds into the Jaguars scored a rebound goal to win the game and Stuck Edina with its 2nd lose of the season. The Jaguars seem ready for the State tournament coming up in 3 weeks and were looking to take the whole thing.

I have continued to read my book in the most boring place ever...Green Valley, Arizona. It is getting very good as I continue to read about 9 or 10 hours a day. Right now the Jefferson Jaguars are 10-1 and are still #2 in state as Edina continues to roll over everyone they play at a stunning 12-0 on the year and a win in the holiday classic. As Jefferson’s only lose coming to the almighty Edina in a heartbreaking lose 3-2 with a goal scored by Edina’s star in the last minute of the game to hand the undefeated Jaguars there first lose of the season and to remain in the number 2 position in state. That was Edina’s only game that came with a 1 goal differences all the rest of them were at least 4 goal deficits. After that lose to Edina they had to back to the chalk board and they said what they did good and what they did bad in the game. Changed there gamelan up a little bit and a few days later tested how the new changes would work. They beat the number 5 Team Minnetonka in a promising game 5-2. Putting them a small step closer to that state championship. But it would not be easy. They would have to beat there best competitor Edina 1 month later. "That should be a tester for us" Sats says.

I read my outside reading book a lot over winter break. Because I was with my grandparents in Arizona and me and my grandpappi would golf in the morning and get back to there house around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Also when we got back to there house I did absolutely positively NOTHING. But Lucky I got to read a lot of my book. Right now in the book it is still getting started and the team is still starting to develop in to one of the greatest teams in Minnesota hockey history. They list off most of the team that are going to be competitors in the league this year. The teams they named were Edina, Eden Prairie, Wayzata, and Minnetonka was some of the good teams this year. For the pre-season polls obviously Edina was #1 in the state and Jefferson was #2. Jefferson had a very young team that year so they had to develop more than most team and the kids and had never played with each other before and they had to learn quick because a lot was expected out of this team this year because it was the coaches last year after 30 year of coaching and he chose a very interesting team that year.

Outside Reading-Blades of Glory 2

I have continued to read my outside reading book, Blades of Glory. The more and more i read it the better and better it gets but some of it i do not really agree with. I mean i no that older hockey players chew and stuff but i did not think that high school kids did? especially ones that were that good. That stuff just ruins your skill and in the book it talks about how on the way back from one of there games all the players throw in chews and none of them get caught doing it. I thought wow how can a team that good do such a stupid thing like that. But i suppose it was just a bad decision. In the book i also love how it mentions Edina and in the book one of my hockey coaches is named in it so that was pretty cool. A lot of these players i recognize because they are either in the NHL or they are nationally recognized and because we live in Minnesota it is even bigger. Also it is pretty cool to know that i skate on the same ice as some of the NHL players do. Like Braemar arena or Bloomington Ice Gardens. Any of those rinks. I love reading a book that i can relate to and say that is a neighbor town of the one that i live in today and that ya i no who so and so is. It is just a really cool feeling for me.

For the second quarter I am reading Blades of Glory by John Rosengren. It is about the 00-01 Jefferson Jaguars (from Minnesota) who are one of the most winning high school hockey teams in the nation and it tells there story of one of there most memorable years ever. The author was given full access to the team that year and could go with them wherever they go and he wrote this book about the team and how they struggle and strive to there ultimate goal, to win the state high school hockey tournament and hopefully play college hockey and maybe even the pros. But in Minnesota hockey is more than a game it is life. Every 1 in 113 Minnesotans play hockey and we produce the best hockey players there is in the game right now. When people think of Texas they think of football, when people think of Mexico they think of soccer, when people think of California they think of basketball and when people think of Minnesota it is hockey. Always has been and always will be. If you ask me I think it is because it is one of the coldest places in the US but until next blog. Peace
