GAME DAY #3/ Last day in Finland

Last day in Finland today :( Woke up for our on ice practice, then rested majority of the day before heading to the ice rink for our last practice game playing against a Finnish team. Our game started at 6pm and we played a rather skilled team. Their players were not as young as the other two teams, their team was rather skilled, they played really well as a team and were really good at fore checking, and hustling on our net. The Fernz started out really slow, and not together. The opposition got an incredibly quick goal with just 12 seconds in from the first period. This got our team rather concerned and worried which really showed on the ice. The end result of the period was a 2-0 lead to them. A really messy periods, we had a lot of really silly penalties which put us a lot off our game The seccond period was a bit better, but still rather slow and not as together as we would have liked. At the end of the period we were still down by 1 making it 3-2. The third period was a completely different period, we went out firing and really awake, we made some really good plays and were focused a lot more. We cut down the stupid penalties and really dominated them. the end result of the game was 4-4, which was a bit of a bummer, we ended the game with 2 men down, so were playing a 3 on 5 which was really challenging and rather hard to score with! The goal scorers of tonight were Ash, Keri got 2 goals and Anjali. The player of the game went to Keri who once again played outstanding.  Well we are off to Iceland. We have a 3am wake up call tomorrow morning ahh! It is soo sad to be leaving we have all had the most amazing time here. Everything has been brilliant, the hospitality, the food, the facilities and most importantly the hockey. Verumaki is such an amazing place, but bring on Iceland....... We are all feeling pretty good about everything. Will update you tomorrow from Iceland :)
