Hockey at 36 years old? Not only that but to basically start playing for the first time ever. Yep, I did it. I joined an adult hockey fun league...the BLUE team. A friend of mine got me interested in it by talking it up. He said that it is just for fun and a chance to get better at it. Of course I am not good at all. The last time I was on skates was about 4-5 years ago with another buddy playing some pond hockey pick up with about eight people.
Nevertheless, I strapped on some skates on Saturday night and put on some browed gear. It was the first time that I have ever had that much equipment on. I stepped out on the ice with an old Sher-wood and pushed off. We practiced for about 10 minutes and then it was game time. It was a lot of fun. I admit, I was very tired and now soar. But I can't wait for the next game.
So I'm not an all-star skater or have quick hockey like reflexes (or ever will)...but it is fun and I can only get better. So thanks to a friend, Josh Welch and another bud Anthony Stein for getting me out there. I appreciate it Josh.
Signing off for now, dt
