Day 6 (Valentine's Day) - Second Tournament Game

Game Day at Club de Patinage Artistique de Charlesbourg (Figure Skating Club of Charlesbourg), a community recreation center-like rink fifteen minutes from the Colisée Pepsi.  The team started out much more competitively against the Sherbrooke Harfangs 1 (Quebec) tying the score 1-1 on a wicked Cameron Ward snapshot from the point, then going up 2-1 on a beautiful Joey Cassetti deflection.  Unfortunately, the momentum and lead were short-lived as penalties began to take their toll.  Final score: Sherbrooke Harfangs 3, San Jose Jr. Sharks 2.  Though the team was disappointed at being bounced from the tournament, smiles quickly returned as hot dogs from the snack bar were devoured and talk turned to attending the evening's Quebec Remparts game.  In fact, any lingering thoughts of the team's loss were all but forgotten as Jacob Kim showed his bag of Valentine's Day chocolates that his mother Nikki had given him before leaving for San Jose that morning.
