Nathan is in Detroit Now
We dropped Nathan off in Detroit on 8/16/09. Very tough day for Christina and I, but sometimes the hardest decisions are the best decisions. Nathan is living with the head coach's family (Joe Smaza) in Howell, Michigan and playing for Belle Tire's 96AAA team. School starts on September 8. Yes, after Labor Day!

Article from Youth Hockey Report
Belle Tire defeated the LA Selects 4-1 to earn a spot in the USA Hockey National Championship game at the Pee Wee Major level. Nathan Churchill did all he could in goal for LA to keep them in the game as he stopped 52 of 56 Belle Tire shots but Belle Tire was just to good. Peter Kessel, Marcel Godbout, Chris Brown and Jacob Turowski had the Belle Tire goals. Pat Newell had the lone LA goal. Belle Tire now waits for the winner of the St Louis vs. Rochester game to see who they will meet tomorrow for the Championship.

California State Champs
The LA Selects defeated the Jr Kings 2 games to none in the best 2 0ut of 3. The scores were 7-0 and 4-1. Great effort by the boys! Off to Quebec on Thursday!!!

California State Championships
State Championships are next weekend (Feb 6-8). The LA Selects have a best 2 out of 3 with the LA Jr Kings. We should take care of business in the first 2 games. That really isn't going out on a limb. The Jr Kings are mostly 97 birth year and will be an excellent team next year. Win or lose both teams will advance to the Pacific Regionals being held in Seattle Washington. We beat the Jr Kings 3-2 last weekend and we were without Coby and Evan. Makes it a little tougher without one of the top scorers and one of the top defensemen.
Quebec PeeWee World Championship Schedule
We open up with the New York Jr Islanders on Feb. 16.
Also, the games will be televised via the Internet. Here is the link to the main site:

MLK Weekend in Arizona
The LA Selects were playing in the Lemieux Academy MLK Tournament over January 16-20. They did awesome!!!!
Results:
Game 1 1/16/09
LA Selects 6 Houston Hitmen 1 - Houston was a AA team and the game was pretty lopsided.
Game 2 1/16/09
LA Selects 3 Arizona Hockey Union 1 - The boys took them a bit lightly and the AZ bunch came ready to play. Escaped this one, but a good start to the tournament.
Game 3 1/17/09
LA Selects 3 Dallas Stars 3. We scored with 29 seconds left to tie. Great game, but I thought we could have been on the right side of this one.
Game 4 1/17/09
LA Selects 5 Colorado Thunderbirds 2. Probably the best played game of the year for the Selects. Nathan was big in this game.
Game 5 1/18/09
LA Selects 8 Alaska All Stars 2 Alaska was pretty beat up by this game.
Game 6 1/18/09
LA Selects 4 Lemieux Academy 2. This game was the one we all circled. LA dominated this game, as they ran out to a 4-0 lead. the boys were very excited and they have won 2 straight against the Lemieux boys. Good friends on the Lemieux team and they played hard.
Game 7 1/19/09 Championship Game
LA Selects 3 Colorado Thunderbirds 5 We ran out of gas and the Thunderbirds played a great game. Tough team to beat twice in the same weekend.

Games on 1/10 and 1/11
The LA Selects hosted the SJ Jr Sharks 96pwaa team this weekend in Lakewood. Little emotional for Nathan, I think, as this was his old team and friends. The LA Selects won on Saturday 5-3 (Nathan played the entire game) and they beat SJ 6-3 on Sunday. Nathan came in at the beginning of the second with the score 4-3. They were both good games, as the Jr Sharks are the #1 aa team in the country according to myhockeyrankings.com. The LA Selects head off to Arizona this weekend to play in the Lemieux Academy MLK Tournament. I will keep everyone posted!!!

West Coast Selects
Nathan was in Detroit, MI on January 1st trying out for the West Coast Selects. There were 60+ skaters and 8 goalies from across the US and the 3 western Candian provinces. Nathan was selected as one of the 2 goalies to represent the Selects this summer on the trips to Iceland, Sweden, Toronto, Montreal and Buffalo. If you can believe this, the other goalie was taller than Nathan!!!!
