This weekend was Thanksgiving and I didn’t have turkey. I didn’t have pumpkin pie. I didn’t even get to celebrate! Why? Because I had to go to Pitt Meadows for my brother’s hockey tournament for the Bantam B rep team.
On Friday I left school early so we could get every thing packed and catch the 5:00 ferry. We had a reservation so we had to be there 30 minutes before. The ferry is in Nanaimo and I live in Courtenay. It’s about a 1 and a half hour drive. Luckily we made it. We arrived in Vancouver at about 7:00. Then we got to go to a Vancouver giant’s game. The Vancouver Giants are the junior A team for Vancouver. Junior A is the hockey level before pro.
I got to sit with my friends who are also siblings of a player on the team. I sat in the middle with my parents behind me and luckily no one in the seats in front of us. We put our feet up and watched the game. It was very exciting because there were lots of fights. In the end the Giants won against the Kelowna rockets. After the game we got back in the car and drove.
I was listening to my music when the car stopped. I looked up and we were at the hotel in Maple Ridge. Maple Ridge is about 5 to 10 minutes away from Pit Meadows. We got all of our stuff up to our room and I found out our room was right next to my friend Gillian’s room.
The next morning my brother’s team had a game at 10:00 am and another later that day. At the first game my friends and I were looking around the rink and we found this really cool lounge like place and we could watch the game from up there. We didn’t really watch the game but we did check the score every once in a while. In the end the game ended up 6-0 for the other team. The same thing happened that night. 3-0 final score.
The next day the Bantam B Chief’s lost both their games. Tomorrow we would be going home. It was a great weekend.
No turkey? Did you eventually celebrate thanksgiving?
The only time I didnt celebrate thanksgiving was when we were traveling.
We were on are way back from toronto. (i used to live in ontario.)
