We're White team, playing against Red. It's so blurry because I was literally shaking with excitement/adrenalin/etc. Heather and I have been wanting to play hockey for so long, we're finally doing it and a wee bit excited about it.
It felt a bit chaotic as we were all thrown together and had mostly not played for awhile or even together at all. The funniest part was all the offsides both teams were getting at the beginning of the season. And I thought we might be in trouble when one of the players, on the bench turned to me during the first game and asked "what's offside again?" And I had to think about it for a second to explain! So we're "practicing" as a team on the fly. But so is everyone, so it's all good!
Luckily, it only took a couple games, and the offside issue was resolved. Yay team! And everyone seems to be having an absolute blast, which is really all that matters! Plus, who needs to go to the gym when you're playing 1.5hrs of hockey a couple nights/week? It's the best workout ever that doesn't even feel like a "workout"!
Heather peaces out on the bench. She look excited to you??
For those locals - next weekend there is a Women's Hockey Jamboree at the Takhini arena! There are 5 teams and we will be playing a minimum of 4 games. How I'm going to pull that off after only playing two games so far is beyond me. The games are freakin' exhausting!!! But it's going to be fun and I will ride the fun high for the weekend. So if you want to see some awesome, exciting hockey, c'mon out! Even though there is a varitey of skill levels, the games have been pretty fast-paced and exciting. Some so close, they've resulted in the ever-exciting and tense shoot out!
There is also a banquet on Saturday night where there will be food n' dancing and all that good stuff. Providing I can walk after multiple games that day!
So remember:

Well that explains why we haven't heard boo from you for a month. I was beginning to think you'd flushed yourself down your new loo!
