Calum did not play today. But we did drive an hour and a half each way to southern Maryland to watch him sit while the other goalie and his team lost 2-8.

First away game for Calum’s 14U Silver — up in Rockville vs. the Montgomery Ice Devils. The Raiders showed progress but couldn’t get on the board. After one slipped by in the second, momentum shifted and the Ice Devils added two more. Final: 0–3.

Part 2 of today’s doubleheader: The Raiders 14U Silver are still finding their chemistry, but showed some strong moments in a 1–3 matchup against St. James. Calum was a rock in goal, stopping about 25 shots and keeping the game close. Lots to build on as the season gets rolling.

Herndon/South Lakes closed in on the end of spring hockey with a commanding 10–1 win over Langley. Calum took the net in the second, stopping all 6 shots he faced. Not many photos this time, but I did catch one of Calum making a save in a spray of ice.

Spent the weekend at the NJ Spring Thaw tournament, where Calum held down the net for the 14U Raiders—racking up well over 100 saves in 3 games. The team, made up of friends and some new faces, finished with 1 win and 2 losses. Great effort all around!

Spring house hockey chaos: Calum was the only goalie, switching teams mid-game. No one was taking things seriously, and Calum was chasing the elusive “goalie goal” the whole time. Final was 12–7, but with all the player swaps, who’s counting? At least they had fun!
