Well all but 3 of the guy started skating in Feb. We are just expecting to have fun and would like to win half our games. We actually got in a d-4 league which is above beginners. There wasnt enough beginners to make its own league.

We got beat 8-4 ......It was just a preseason game so they set 60 minutes on the clock and didnt stop it. Being my first game I got gassed halfway through. Actually our whole team did haha. Thats when the other team started scoring more goals. It was pretty close halfway through. 3-2 or so ... It was most of the guys first time against other teams players. We all learned a lot and had a blast. However I learned two things... 1. even though it says non contact league, there was a lot of non incidental contact. 2. Personally I learned that goalies do not like you standing in front of them in the offensive zone. I was not in the crease but I stood in front of the goalie trying to screen him. When the other team took the puck away he skated out and crosschecked the out of me. Not just a friendly shove but hit me so hard I have a stick mark bruise horizontally across my back. It didnt feel great .This ###### is a d-2 goalie who was filling in for this team.

All in all we had a blast and we found things we need to work on. We just want to continue to get better every time!
