Hockey Time, with pictures!

We won today 4 to 1. It was kind of fluffy so we only played with four on our side, and everyone got to take a lot of breaks. Except for me, of course, being the only "good" girl to show up. But like in dodgeball, and like when I played indoor with Carrie Scott's team at Soccerplex, I'm used to not subbing out. [Coed teams must have two girls in play at all times, unless they want to play shorthanded.]

*Oh, right, last night we lost in the quarterfinals of dodgeball so we're out for good. Nice season, though.


Honnen Ice Rink

Defense as usual.


I got one shot on goal tonight, which is better than my average.


I body slammed this big guy. That's him trying to get up.


Just pretending.


Looking better. I don't fall down on my own anymore.

Thanks to Stuart for taking all the pictures. He thinks it's brilliant that my grandma reads my blog.

Sports

Beginner League Hockey: Matt Sheldon (Sheldo) is the coach. I don't know if other teams have a coach, but it gives us an edge. We've won every game so far and the guys are telling me I "played like a champ." Alright, acceptance! Most people on the team are seniors, and they were champions last year, and Sheldo says "we will settle for nothing less than a dynasty." I do want to be up on the wall of champions.
Today we played against a fluffy team, so I played up front and got two shots on goal, and smashed into some opponents three different times (and collided with the goal post once). But I never fell down today on my own accord. Progress.

Dodgeball: The Possums definitely aren't the favored team in the dodgeball league; actually, we're probably the underdog team. True, sometimes we have been shellacked, but every game we get better and better, and when Neil and Twig actually show up, our odds of winning go up 50/50.
-- Update. We lost tonight. Neil didn't show up. I don't think we're making the playoffs. Last game is on Thursday. --

Running off-season: I found my goggles, so I can swim, but I still can't run on my knee. I can run once a week wearing the brace if I take good care of myself.

Tales of Victory and Woe, Chapter Two

Tale of Victory
[This time, Hemingway short story style. Ahem.]
Dodgeball yesterday. Tie-breaking revenge victory domination!


(Er . . . is tie-breaking two words or one ?)
