Much nostalgia will follow Blake as he takes the ice at Aliso come Sunday morning, where he has not played a game since the June 2006 photos you will see below. From there, he was contacted by the Beach City Lighting Squirt coach, and the rest, as they say, is history!
Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear--
June 2006--Can you find the two current PML players? A number of these kids still play for OC and Anaheim and Beach City |
Notice the scoreboard in the back, a 3-2 win. The game went to a shootout, and the kid standing, 4th from the left won the game-- Elijah. Everyone had a chance, and it went around again, 14 rounds to settle it. Literally, the most exciting game in Aliso Viejo history! Coach Jay is our neighbor, and Blake was taller than him three years ago! His son still plays for OC..small freakin' world, eh??
Blake was the 13th shooter, last of the first round..no, he did not score, but he sure had cool gloves! Oh my, who is that strikingly handsome coach in the background in the white Kings jersey?? Yep..he went on to be a famous blogger or something--
Blake was the only kid who could lift the "Gino Cup" on his own! |
Summer 2005--can you pick out Blake and his buddy? |
