Good-bye Seniors!

Megan is ready to watch her Bulldogs win their 4th Harris Cup in 4 years!

Yeah, they win and throw all of their stuff on the ice.

The classic photo of Megan and Mark with Brad Fogal Adrian's goalie, who happens to have the record for most career wins for any NCAA Div III goalie! Later at a fundraiser we asked Brad to sign a frame that holds all 3 pictures of Megan with Brad after the Harris Cup wins. He was very touched that we asked him to sign something that was going to hang on our wall.

Good-bye Mike Towns, next season won't be the same without my favorite hockey player.

Megan next to Mark's company sign.

Because they won the Harris Cup they got an automatic bid into the NCAA Div III tournament. We missed the second round home game but there was no way we were going to miss the Semi-finals or Final. So after a 13 hour drive to Minneapolis, Minn, we were ready to cheer our Bulldogs on. The College set up a gathering at a local bar where all the fans could gather eat. drink and hangout before and after the game.

Just thought this logo was cool. Plus it was great to see Adrian's name on the ice and on t-shirts!

Adrian wins their Semi-final game!!! On to the Finals baby!!!

Then it was back to The Blarney for dinner. Since bar food isn't really meant for kids and because Megan had been such a great hockey fan, she dined on onion rings and free dessert.

Our Bulldogs are ready for the NCAA Div III finals!

:( Sadly our Bulldogs lost. It was heart breaking to watch, the last game for 17 Seniors that built the program from day one and they lost. But like we told all of the players, they made it to the Div III finals in only 4 years! They hold countless records, some that I'm sure will never be beat. So there is no shame in this loss.

Then it was back to The Blarney to eat and to wait for our hockey boys to get there to celebrate all that they have accomplished since Adrian started the hockey program. And of course to say good-bye to our 17 seniors that we have cheered for over the last 4 years. Great group of guys they will be missed.
