HOCKEY!!

Tonight I get to play goalie in Ice Hockey for the first time in at about a year and a half. I am SO excited!!

The situation is less than perfect. I'll be playing the first game of the playoffs for a team that has gone 0 - 13 for the season. There are pros and cons.

Among the pros there is no pressure. If we lose it is expected anyway. If we win or even make it close I'll have to of played GREAT! So no pressure. Also this is in a mens league in the area which I've been looking at getting involved with anyway so now I'll be able to guess at skill levels. Also kool.

Cons... The last full year I played hockey I tore or severely pulled my groin. With as many shots as I expect to get I'll prolly be putting my body to a real test. Back then I was in some of the best shape of my life. Now I feel I am in some of the worse... I'll pray.

Whatever! I am so EXCITED!!!

Lol I just got the call to go, I'll add to this blog upon my return...

Holy crap!! I can't believe that just happened!!

I GOT A SHUTOUT!!

This just in from TSN:

Hello folks this A. J. Brian reporting for TSN hockey from the Rinx arena off the highway in NW Toronto... We have just witnessed a minor sports miracle. An 0 - 13 mens league team in a playoff round they shouldn't make are winners after a thrilling 5 - 0 victory. In the room players were ecstatic and shocked. Said one player amongst some laughter "usually I go home and sulk, now what the heck do I do?" another chimed soon after "I'm calling in sick boys who wants a one?" (thank you strong bad for the kid-safe lingo). "We just went out and played hard. We had nothing to lose there was no pressure and look whats happened! This feels great!" said a forward who contributed 2 goals in the victory.



OK back to reality... That is all true and I had some super fun, but honestly I didn't face too many difficult shots. Unbelievable fun it was. Take care all.
