Chelsea hockey faced Riverview. They’re called the Pirates, but it was the Bulldogs who made off with the loot of victory. Arrrrrrr! (Special note for the MHSAA: there was no actual loot involved. Only victory. Arrrrrrr!)

Midway through the game, one Riverview player leveled a Chelsea player with an illegal hit.

After a few minutes, he managed to make it to his feet and woozily skate off the ice with some help.

He spent the rest of the period talking to the trainer.

He didn’t return to that game, but there is good news: he’s now back in action.

Chelsea won the game by a large margin, so there was plenty of celebrating.

There also were a few penalties. Here, Connor can’t believe they called that penalty:

One Chelsea fan got especially excited about one of the Bulldogs’ goals:

I was tasked to shoot a few photos for the newspaper that covers Riverview. Here’s one.

There. That proves I’m an equal-opportunity blogger, right?

There’s an old axiom that says “When push comes to shove, you’re probably playing hockey.”*

*This axiom is not old because it does not exist.

Later in the game, Joe managed to maneuver around both the defense and the goalie to give himself a wide-open net.

Yeah, he put it in the net.

Always remember: Coach Wright is watching you.
