Friday night I went to my first high school hockey games in many years. It's been at least 5 years maybe longer since I've covered a game.

It was very fun.

I went to Allen Park and caught the first two games in the 11th Annual Jaguar Thanksgiving Classic. the first game pitted Woodhaven against Gross Pointe Woods University Liggett. It had everything as both teams came from behind to lead. Late in the third period while trailing Woodhaven managed a shorthanded goal to send the game into overtime, where they won about 30 seconds into the extra period.

The second game, while not as close (ending in an 8-0 mercy rule) was still very entertaining to watch from my perspective as I stood rinkside and took video and photos as best I could.

I even live tweeted both games under the hashtag #nhhockey. Something that I will definitely be doing in the future, along with other sports as I head out to them. So if you have a twitter account follow me @NHDaveH for updates from whatever game I happen to be out at on a given night.

I'm looking forward to my next chance to head out to a game, hopefully it will be soon.
