Beluga Lake in the sunset
(Saturday, September 27, 2008)
Oh my! Tried playing ice-hockey tonight for the very first time. Borrowed gear that I was missing and it was bring-a-friend night at the rink. When I first stepped out on the ice I almost panicked. It was a lot harder than I remember, but the more I practised the better it felt. We got to do a bunch of drills including throwing ourselves on the ice to know what it feels like to fall. It felt very unnatural to skate as fast as you can and then dive, but of course it didn't hurt at all because of all the gear and padding. I had a blast!! The ladies were great, all though I can tell they are a little tougher than my teammates from soccer. I think I will try to join the team if I can keep up...
Worked almost 9 hours today, so it was fun to play afterwards.
