Hockey Gods
Hard to keep up with the blog with all of the fun the "Invincible Girls" had in Cali.By now the jet lag has worn off and the lacrosse sticks and softball gloves should be out. I am going to post a final time ... add some videos from the trip and start to sunset the blog.
As the last game headed into overtime and eventually a shoot out, like the Habs fans up north, the Sting faithful started to chant "Go! Sting! Go!"
The chant started quietly enough (I think Bones was the lead cheerleader) ... yet soon a combination of funky rink acoustics and the spirit of the entire group seemed to elevate the chant ... it was (to me anyway) getting louder and louder and louder ... Deb Carlin's fists were pumping
high in the air on the bench. I wondered, were the players chanting too?I was amazed at how loud our small team and small group of fans were...then I looked down and I saw that all around the rink there were kids and fans from other teams joining in. They were clapping and chanting Go! Sting! Go! as well.
There was no doubt our Cinderellas were that darlings of that Anaheim Rink Ball. Everyone (save a few Ducks fans) wanted our tired yet so determined girls to win that game.
When Lauren's shot tingled the twine and the Stingers held their sticks high in the air, I have no doubt that Don Cherry's hockey gods were smiling on our group.
Thanks to all our "followers" ... Go! Sting! Go!

STINGERS DANCE OFF THE ICE !!!
The girls who just did not want their season to end play extra time and win in a shoot out over the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim ... photos and more to follow! Essex and Vermont have a lot to be proud of!
Los Angeles Dodgers to Host the Stingers!
The San Fransisco Giants will not be the only champions at the Dodgers game tonight as the LA Dodgers will be hosting the New England Champion Essex Sting. In addition to tickets to the game and a gift from he Dodgers the girls will be recognized as New England Champions on the right field scoreboard. Look for the Stingers in the upper deck behind home plate! Should be a fun event.
