The Allderdice and Carrick ice hockey teams met for the second time this season at Ice Castle skating rink. However, the second team they met was different.
For the first couple of minutes for the first period, the teams were going back and forth with very few shots. Allderdice was able to break the ice when Sam Conturo, an Obama student, broke the ice with a shot that zoomed past the goalie. Then, Obama had a chance to go score another point while on a power play, but failed to do so. At the end of the first, Carrick had a good opportunity when a Carrick player slid behind the defense and nearly scored on a breakaway but, the goalie and buzzer said no.
The second period came and Allderdice had another man advantage. The team capitalized whenever Sam Conturo put it in the net, again. Another power play chance and the same result: Sam Conturo scored. This ended up being the story of the game and by the end of the game, they scored on four power plays, all of which by Sam.
However, another Obama native, Luke Miller scored on a beautiful backhand in front of the net and Sam with an assist. Near the end of the game, Sam Conturo had a chance for six goals on a breakaway, but Carrick’s goalie came up with a nice save. The only thing we could ask for is an “Ovechtrick,” but he was unable to provide.
The end of the game was different than the previous games. The teams went into their locker rooms at separate times because the last time they played there was a “mob” in front of the locker rooms. The precautions taken this time worked and nothing bad happened.

Exchange Students
Imagine having the opportunity to get on a plane and become emerged in a different culture. Well, in case you haven’t noticed, we’ve had the tremendous honor of hosting German exchange students, and I had the opportunity to interview a handful of them. Daniel Voitl, Lennart Strochle, Natalie Hoosmann, Giulia Siegloch, Milena Strumper, Marius MorLock, Lukas Kresser, Lorenz Williges, and Sina Glaser were the group that I got to talk to, along with two of the hosts; Mariah Benjamin and Elizabeth Eckstrand.
I started by going through the motions of questions like ‘how are you liking our school, Pittsburgh, and your host families.’ They all seemed to agree that they like it, but the work here is a lot easier and it’s not as organized as their school in Germany. They also said that back in Germany there aren’t very many big cities, but they like the change.
I then asked them what they liked to do in Germany for fun. The majority said that they like to sleep (which I can definitely agree with, sleep is wonderful). However, a few out of that group also stated that the drinking age in Germany is 16, so, their Friday nights are sometimes spent out at bars and clubs and whatnot.
To wrap everything up I asked them if they had anything to say to you guys as readers, and they wanted to clear up a few stereotypes. The first one, which is pretty funny, is that they don’t always wear leather pants. I’ve never heard that stereotype before, but they said that they wear them only on certain occasions like Oktoberfest. The last stereotype that was cleared up was one that I have seen/heard, and was quite appalled actually, but they wanted to make sure that it is crystal clear that hearing the word Germany/Germans should not conjure up images of Hitler or the Third Reich in general.
As quickly as they came, they left on Thursday (11/10/11) but we will always welcome them back for years to come!
