I haven't played hockey since high school (and I really was never great), but in my final year of midget, in one of my last games, I scored a goal that I could only dream of.
I was playing defence, and I had possession of the puck at around our blue line, breaking out. Since nobody can catch a pass, I decided to take it into the offensive zone by myself. At around the red line, I avoided a check from one of their forwards, entered the zone, deked the first defenceman by putting the puck in-between his feet (from my forehand to my backhand). The second defender started skating forward after he saw me make his teammate look silly, and from my backhand, put the puck in-between his feet to catch it on my forehand (I was at around the hashmarks at this point). I quickly took a shot, pick the top right corner off the post. I didn't even see the puck go in, I just heard the ping.
If there's one thing in my life I wish I had video evidence of, it would be this.
And so it's all been downhill forom there.
