Team Shot

Two sisters Lisa and Sally were really tough hockey players.

Green Team MVP

This MVP is an up & coming new Japanese hockey star.

Hockey Girls

More sisters from the yellow team. Japan has some really amazing women hockey players!

Big Player!

The green team won the tournament with their super-big MVP who was bigger than the refs and won a nice new hockey stick.

Ready to Play

Lance lines up for the next game.

Drop the Puck!

Ready for the puck drop.

Smile & Dream

Thrilled to try an Ice Hockey Tournament for the first time, in Yokohama, Japan.

Pic with Dad

I like these sketch machines at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Good Passer!

I think Lance ranks among the best in his age level for passing the puck.

Nice Shot!

We played at Irvine and Huntington Beach, 

but the indoor rink at H.B. was better for the photos.

International Tournament

The flags look great in the photo! It was fun seeing all the teams from around the world in the International Tournament!

Cool Jersey!

Glad we got to keep the TEAM USA jerseys!

Canada Team

The Canada Team was really tough! Our lower-level players didn't stand a chance and had to be taught a valuable lesson on positioning during the tournament match.

When the top tier (including Lance) was on the floor we were doing well.

Great Shot!

We really appreciate Mark Nylander for shooting great photos for us at the AAU Jr. Olympics Tournament!

Big Goalie!

Very big goalie! Not sure he's only 12...

Jersey Number 39

Lance wears jersey #39 because they didn't have his favorite #66, and either sum equals 12.

Peeking Shot

Love this shot!

Hong Kong Dragons

The Hong Kong Dragons were one of the most formidable teams we went against. Lance had played with Wayne & Colby from Hong Kong before, so we knew they were good!

Cool Uniform

Really glad Lance was able to keep the jerseys and the Team USA pants. He loves these white ones!

Nice Assist!

Lance congratulates Jeff for making the score.

What a Game!

This exciting game between KIHA vs Australian Stars (12u) ended 7 to 6 (Hawaii won). It was so close we didn't know which team would win until the buzzer sounded.

Hawaii vs Australia 12u

Very nice goal for a Kapolei boy against the Australian Stars.
