Last night was a historic night for my oldest nephew, Avi. As reported on the ASHAR Hockey site, my nephew scored his first goal ever, in an official elementary school game.
And I quote:
The big goal of the night came late in the game from defenseman Avi Borgen who took a pass back at the point and lasered it towards the net passed a screened Aaron Turkel.
Avi Borgen, he is my nephew. Congrats Avi on the goal!
I actually always hoped Avi would be more into basketball but his father influenced him in a different direction - Hockey. Well, I guess that is his father's problem now, since hockey is a much more expensive sport to be involved with. Joke is on you!
I guess hockey is your sport and it shows! Congrats again and I am sure you will be scoring plenty of goals this year and throughout your life!

yes, it is more expensive and for that i am sorry (mostly for me)but after looking at your gut i think its fair to say that one night of hockey is better than 3 nights of b-ball.

Congrats, Avi. I used to play hockey when I was younger (and I had two good knees), and I remember when I got my first goal. It is a good feeling, and it takes a lot of pressure off!

As a Canadian boy, I will vote for hockey as being superior to basketball--even if it is more expensive. Congrats to your nephew on his first goal, Barry.

That's my grandson! What an athlete!
Definitely from the Borgen side.
I would like to say that you inherit all your sports skills from your Papa; but we'll have to stick with only the mustache.
Just keep scoring.....your Proud Papa.
