On Wednesday it was freezing cold! Again. The wind was terrible. We ate breakfast in the morning and then headed to the White Oaks mall to buy a new winter jacket for my dad. We just hang around and tried to get the time to past before the semifinal game.
The semifinal game against team Canada West was ready to begin with a crowd cheering and the cameras rolling. :P The crowd was full of Canadians and we were maybe around 15 Finnish there.. Still at some points we were much louder than them. Four older people sitting in front of us changed their seats because we cheered so loud for the girls. Exciting game ended for our girls 11-3 win! What a feeling to silence the whole Canadian crowd!
Things that caught my eye:
- LOTS of churches
- low buildings expect the hotels
- beer could only be purchased from the beer stores
- train track through the "city" center
- most of the cars where pick-up cars
- people were reaaallyy friendly there
On Thursday morning I was excited to wake up: it was the day of the final. As my friend said to me: the last day of us holding the title of U19 Champs. We left for the near by city plaza to make the last shoppings done since I surprisingly still had some money left.
The bronze game ended 7-1 when the Canada West won the Russian team. I was excited for the gold game to start having water and throat pastilles with me since after the semifinal game I didn't have that much voice left.. I really don't know how to write about the game since our girls lost it 6-2 and the gold went back to the Canadians after 10-years! The last time, in any category, when Canada had won was in 2002 Champ games. Though though place for our girls, not only to loose but then to watch all the long ceremonies after the game. :( I'm still proud of the girls since they played really well and didn't give up. I lost my voice for good after shouting and cheering the entire game like a maniac.
On Friday, on our last day, we packed our luggage and left the hotel around 9 am and headed towards the Niagara Falls. The trip there went fast and being lazy I'll let the pictures talk for themselves. :P
