We are the Champions!

Tonight Frank's team, the Fermi Falcons, played in their conference championship game. I don't know who was more nervous, Frank or myself! The team worked hard all year to get to this point and all their hard work showed on the ice! The team they played, Glastonbury, they had played two other times this season. The first game they lost and last weekend, they played them to a 3-3 OT tie! Tyler and I traveled into Hartford to watch the game a meet Papa and Aunt Laurette who drove up from New York to take in the game and we all had a wonderful time!

Tyler anxiously awaiting the start of the game and making sure the guys were warming up and getting into game mode... He found his spot-- against the rail in the first row-- and stayed there for the whole game!

The FINAL score! It was a well played game and Fermi played their hearts out!
Starting the celebration....
The on ice aftermath-- gloves, helmets, and sticks everywhere! Tyler said "they made a big mess!"
Accepting their plaque.
Holding it up high!
The celebration picture! It was wonderful to see everyone so happy and to be there to experience it! Now it's off to the state playoffs Wednesday!
Even the news was there. Everyone wanted a piece of the coach after the game. We waited for Frank and his team to come out and as Tyler commented after it was all over, "Daddy is really happy tonight"!
Congratulations, Frank and the Fermi Falcons!
