A Reading Jr Royals Hockey Blog

It was a pretty good season for the Double Zero’s team the Reading Jr Royals PeeWee Black team. During the season, they won all of their league games, but did loose several non-league games.

Final Youth Ice Hockey Tournaments

The best tournament that I attended in which the JR Royals came in first place was the Hershey Bears Christmas Tournament during which the Royals beat out the NJ Penguins in the final game at the Giant Center Ice Arena 5:1.

The last two hockey tournaments that the boys played in they did not fair as well as I would have liked.

The Royals played in the Hershey Bears Post season tournament and came in second to the Bears who beat them in the final game 4:3.  This was probably my least favorite tournament due primarily to having to stay at the Holiday Inn in Grantville. When signing up for the tournament which the Bears seemed slated to win, the whole team had to stay at one hotel, and other accomodations could not involve any of the other local hotels, because if Hershey found out about this, the team could have been disqualified.

The final tournament of the season, was the Eastern Regional Finals. The Royals were knocked out of the tournament after two games, played by two NJ Youth Hockey teams.

It was a pretty good Ice Hockey season for Double Zero. He seemed to become very comfortable as a defensemen.
