The Cluck n' Omegas are playing again! This will be the third tournament of 2010 for my favorite ladies hockey team. I'm not sure what to expect. The ladies are a bit of an anomaly, as most of the girls do not routinely play together on the same team. Chemistry is everything in hockey. But somehow they get things together after one game and are able to win tournaments. The Omegas have played several years-in-a-row at the Vegas Invitational each January. They were going for a 3-peat this year, made the Final, but came up short.
The first time playing outside of Las Vegas, was a late Spring tournament in San Jose. Things did not go so well. The team never really came together and didn't make the playoffs; looking a bit disorganized and over matched at times. They got it together by the last game, but it was far too late. I think that the lack of Vegas nightlife was actually a negative factor. Maybe the ladies need the distraction?
We'll find out this month. The Omegas are playing in NorCal once again. It was a bit of a struggle to get a full team together. Confirmed players dropped out, replacements were non-committal, the usual last minute drama. But a workable roster was pieced together. Hopefully the ladies can get their mojo going in a place not named Las Vegas.
Either way, I'll be along for the ride. I won't have to watch the kids, as they will be with the Grandparents! It's a great vacation for me. Not sure what there is to do in Vacaville, but the team has fun together regardless of the locale. I can't wait.
