On Saturday, Chase's hockey team had two games in a tournament -- one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Mama said they lost the morning game but that the boys really hustled. She had invited Nanaw to go to the game in the afternoon in Fenton. Mama picked Nanaw up to go to the game. Nanaw wore her warmest coat and took along her warmest blanket -- it's very cold in the ice rink. Chase's team played the girls' team again; Nanaw had seen another game with the girls' team in Fenton. One of the girls on the girls' team is Poppy, a classmate of Chase's at school. Chase's team hustled again but were losing 4 to 0 when Chase's big chance came. With only a few minutes left in the game, Chase scored an unassisted goal -- sending Mama, Daddy and Nanaw through the roof with pride. Chase skated close to where they were sitting and gave Mama a salute -- the cutest thing in the world. Everybody cheered and congratulated Mama, Daddy and Chase. Nanaw was so excited that she got to see Chase scoring the goal. After the game, Daddy got the puck for Chase. Somebody suggested using a silver Sharpie to write the date, the team and the location on it. In the evening, Nanaw went to visit Chase, and everybody went downstairs to watch a Stadium hockey game.
