Hockey Champs and a night to remember a fallen friend

Season 6 Champions! 4- 4 tie in overtime went to a shootout and we prevailed. I actually had the game winner in OT but the ref did not see the goalie scoop it back out of the net with his glove. A small group of us started the league, and last year one of our buds, Jim Mark, died of a brain tumor after a lengthy battle. He actually played again for us one season while he was in remission. After he passed we purchased a 1/3 size replica of the Stanley Cup and named it “the Jim Mark Memorial Cup” for the winners each season. Jim’s wife was on hand at the beginning of the night and we presented her with a framed league Jersey with Jim’s number. All the Jerseys for the 4 teams have JM in the upper shoulder in his memory.
