USA vs Finland

Today's game went great. The US won 6-0, but it felt closer as the Fins seemed to play better and better as the game progressed. My partners today were Aina Hove from Norway, who reffed, and Zuzanna Arazimova from the Czech Republic on the lines. I thought we worked great together, and we had a lot of fun - plus, we had the first ever penalty shot at the Olympics. All our games here are supervised, and we'll receive our feedback tomorrow.

The IIHF website has already posted an article and photos at:

I'm sticking around the rink for a couple of more hours to watch a portion of Mary Anne's game. She has China vs Russia. I think it will be a good close game. She's working with Megan Hishmeh from the US and Anna Majapuro from Finland.

Tomorrow is a day off, so we're all scrambling to get tickets to other events. Our accreditation does get us into games on the men's side as well, but we're all hoping to see some non-hockey related Olympic activity... :)
