Fitness Yoga at Lifetime in Champlin; thanks Darren for hooking me up with the pass. The athletes get paid as this is their job, but for the officials, we have "real jobs" and for training it's all out of pocket expense. Every little bit helps!

Junior hockey game: Quad City Flames (6) vs. Chicago Force (5) in Davenport... OT and 9 person shoot out with Steve and Chason
Highlight of the game: Coach McDermott from Quad City wanted to know if it was my first junior game because he didn't agree when I tossed his center out of a face off in their defensive zone, while they were short-handed, for slashing another kid twice and spitting in my face (figuratively speaking). I told him not to worry about it that I have done plenty of games on the lines to which he sarcastically said well, then that answers the question, it must be your first junior game, and then proudly announced to his players "hey boys, it's her first junior game". I asked the player closest to me on the bench as I was trying not to laugh, "so he yells a lot", to which he said "at least he is not yelling at us". I talked to him in the hallway after the game, he was a coach a few years back for the MJHL and I had I worked his tryout camp over a long weekend, when Chris Blasius was scouting for him. I am pretty sure I confused as I had no league crest, changed my name, had a pony tail, he didn't like me tossing his center or he could have been just trying to work the new guy? It is fun sometimes when no one knows who you are:)
Candy and I drove home after the game; got to bed around 5am and set the alarm for 9am for Sunday's games...
