Team Russia vs Germany

The big game versus Germany took place over the long weekend... so Team Russia & Germany had an extra long warm-up waiting for all their team-mates to arrive 

 Unfortunately Team Germany was short one player, so Coach Mark searched for willing volunteers to play for the other side.

 No one wanted to leave Team Russia... so....

 eventually some of the boys were "voluntold" to play for Germany (by their moms :)) 

 Team Russia players were scoring goals for the Germans, and the parents were cheering for all sides... very confusing to everyone involved!

Can you spot the Russian players disguised in black?

Team Russia vs Holland

Not that anyone keeps score during these games :) ... but Team Holland didn't stand a chance against the mighty Team Russia 

Although, let the record reflect that it was in fact a hard-won victory

As the good guys were down 0-3 at the beginning of the game

However, teamwork saved the day 

And defence became a necessity

And by half-time (or whatever it is called in this league) Team Russia came back to score 2 goals! 

Time for jumping drills

and some strategic planning with coach

Game on! You better get ready Team Holland (or more specifically #10) HERE WE COME!!

And even though we can be cute, we are a force to be reckoned with!

And sometimes the best defence...

is a good offence!

As Team Russia came back strong and scored...

 4 more goals!!! 

To make the final score 6-3

However, no one counts the score in these games of course :)
