Americans practice at home (photo credit: Melissa Grissom)

The Allen Americans skated at the Allen Event this morning to get ready for their game tomorrow against the Rapid City Rush. They are coming off a heartbreaking 3-2 loss against the Arizona Sundogs. The Americans are still in first place with a record of 25-7-4 for 54 points in the 36 games they played so far.

They were working on their one on one drills, passing drills, deflecting shots and their 4 on 4 drills. They were also working on their power play drills, which is now at 23.2 % in second place in the CHL.

Also today, Jarret Lukin was celebrating a birthday today and a few fans that I was sitting by were singing happy birthday to him. I was also sitting with Darryl Bootland’s dad Chris, who was at practice watching his son and the Americans. The Americans will have a morning skate tomorrow morning before they play against the Rush tomorrow at the Allen Event Center.
