The soccer season wrapped up last night for Alexander. He played in the Ottawa Premier league at the Under 10 age group. He was an under 9 player but ended up playing up a year. It was a pretty good experience for him. Their team finished in 6th place out of 15 teams and on many nights he faced a lot of shots. He ended up tied in the league for first place in shut-outs (3 in total). Considering it was his first full season as a goalkeeper we are thrilled at the progress he made this year. Alexander making a save off of a corner kick.
Alexander coming off the line for a challenge. As you can see, we were a bit outnumbered here. This was a fairly regular occurance on our team - which in one way was good for Alexander as he was never bored!
Alexander coming off the line to fight for a 50/50 ball. He ended up slide tackling the ball against a fairly large opponent and making the save.

That is it for my soccer pics for the '08 soccer season. Bring on hockey!! We have one week between the end of soccer and the start of hockey. We are going this weekend to Syracuse and Buffalo. Alexander and I are going to a Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions NFL game while the girls do some shopping. Stay tuned.
