Scrimmage v Crow River, Part 2

Some kids don't necessarily get into the spirit of youth hockey at the squirt level. One defender on the Crow River team seemed not to have gotten the memo about checking, and went ahead with his NHL enforcer act. There were several incidents, as this one involving Max B. will serve to illustrate.

Max goes for the puck, as the other guy goes for Max.

Max keeps his eyes on the prize, but it's ultimately futile. The other kid isn't even slightly interested in the puck.

At least it was a clean play, and when the kid does it in pee wees he'll be a hero. There was no penalty called on the play, much to Max's disgust, but he rolls with the punches. Max did get his bell rung pretty hard later in the game when a defender checked him under the chin and he went straight back helmet first to the ice. Max is a tough kid, though.

Here's Marco with a pass or a shot.
