New Year, New Team.... and...

Sorry no post for the entire past year or this season. Hectic to say the least.

But, in light of tonight's upcoming championship game:

The Cactus Shadows Frozen Falcons vs. The Cactus Cobras

Here is a promo video I made to show at church this morning. Matt, my son, is part of a pretty big church group - kids from various high-schools, hopefully, we can convince a few of them to show up tonight and make some noise.



View it or download it as a windows media file here.
To download, right mouse-click and select "save target as".

If every player can get 2 kids to show up who would not have normally, we can get an extra 30+ kids in the stands.

Let's do what we can...

1 Down, 2 To Go!!!

The Frozen Falcons defeated Chaparral in their quarterfinal matchup - 3-2.

Physical & Fast-paced play set the tone with the Falcons overcoming a called-off goal, a 5 minute major penalty, and being down 5 players to 3 in the third period.

Trevor Van Conant scored the game winner with 4 minutes left in the third sending the Falcons to a Semifinal matchup against the winner of the Tuscon / Flagstaff game.
