My oldest son Alex’s U14 Tier 2 outdoor soccer team won a bronze medal at the Canada Day Tournament in Kelowna, BC. He had a great game (he plays as an outside midfielder), and was awarded the game’s MVP by the opposition’s coach.

My son’s U14 Tier 2 indoor soccer team won a gold medal in the Slush Cup up in Edmonton, Alberta. The gold medal game was a tight contest and it went to a penalty shoot-out. My son Alex was selected to take the fifth and final shot. As it turned out, when his turn came, each team has scored 3 goals each. His team got to shoot last, so he potentially could win the Gold for his team if he scored. I don’t think I will ever forget the look of happy panic he gave me just before he headed out to take the kick.

As it turned out, he scored off the post. I’ll also never forget the look of pure happiness on his face after that goal …
