You Go Girl!

One of our defensive players was suspended for a game so Sunday he had to watch instead of play. The coach, for some reason, decided to put Molly in his place on the back line. I was nervous for her. One of the first plays she got hit after she dumped the puck and she went straight back, all the way to the ice. But she got right up and played well the rest of the game.

A few times she even stole the puck away, once lifting the other players stick up and then swiping it right from underneath him. She made some great passes, right to the sticks of her teammates. She made some great stops, keeping the puck in the zone. It was fun to watch. And she had fun playing it.

And best of all, she was named Defensive Player of the Game. Here's the coach's writeup about her Molly "Hey, I really CAN play Defense" was solid!!! Breaking up 2 on 1's, 3 on 1's, even a couple of 2 on 0's!!! She earned a unanimous Defensive Player of the Game!!!
