Second, the so-so news: the game was a tie, 2 to 2.
Third, the BAD news: James attempted a check in the first period with very bad form (not anywhere near textbook checking), and it resulted in a broken bone.
These photos aren't the best (printouts from the clinic's digital system), but if you squint real hard you can see the slight break along the edge of the bone in the circled area.
James got a temproray splint today and will get a cast on Tuesday after the swelling has gone down. He'll have the cast for at least 4 weeks, possibly longer. So, now we will not be snowboarding during the Christmas Break (dang it!) and will not be going to the hockey tournaments in Boise and Salmon. James is a bit disappointed about it, but he's taking it pretty well considering.
Hmm. Maybe our house will finally get clean now that we'll be going to the ice rink less. Time will tell!

That blows!!! So sorry to hear that! Our boys just tried out for a traveling in-line team and they both made it, but we're going to keep them in the advanced league they're playing for now. The $950/kid they want just isn't in the funds (and that's not including skates or gas to and fro, etc) So they're sad and kinda mad, but oh well! :) They can be humbled and do the best with what they get,right??? haha!
Oh man that really stinks! Good thing the guitar recital was before the game. Hope it heals quickly. Hope you have a great Christmas.
