Hola,
today was slack for the first couple of hours. We caught wind that they were giving out trial runs on the sleds so we decided to head over there to check it out. On our way there we saw volunteers driving the zamboni so we decided to try to get in on that fun. We didn't get a chance to drive it, but we did get some individual pictures, along with a group picture on it!
we ended up lining up for the sled hockey trials and it took about 25 minutes of waiting, but we finally got on the ice. it was sick! you need a lot of upper body strength to propel yourself on the ice. it's pretty easy to navigate (depending on the distance of separation of your blades). It's pretty tiring and confusing on which end of the stick you want to be using to stickhandle and move. The hardest thing was to stickhandle and move at the same time. Shooting was quite difficult too to find the right body angle and shooting technique. It's incredible how most players can shoot and stickhandle with both hands!
Back at the office, we had another contest to complete, and this time it was colouring a picture of Sumi. We all had our own interpretations of what the picture will look like, and some were quite funny. All I could think of was "Happy Tree Friends" but I dare not draw a picture of blood squirting out of Sumi's neck :P. Everything else was same old, same old.
OH YA, Canada got upset in the semi-finals by the Japanese 3-1. It was 1-1 with 1:10 to go in the third and the Japanese scored on a 2 on 1, then Canada with the net empty passed back to the point, and the pass was stray and slid all the way back into our own goal sealing the Japanese victory. The Americans beat the Norwegians 3-0 so the finals will be USA v.s. Japan (whom they've already beaten 5-0), and the bronze medal game will be Canada v.s. Norway (whom we've already beaten 5-0).
