Ooh, if we're describing goals......
I was bumped up a division - a 12 year old (there were 3 12 year olds that scored 5+ goes the first few games in our regular division so they bumped us) playing in a 17 & under league. It was OT in the semi's, I was on the left side (my off wing) The puck goes in the other corner, and then in the battle the puck moves up to the half boards. The Opposing D on that sid slides down to get it and the D I'm covering slides over to take his spot. I see my C is going to get the puckso I start break out. My Centre sees me an hits me with a pass just before I hit the centre - break away! As I cross the blueline I can her blade coming behind me, the goalie ( a 17 year old) comes out then starts backing in. He's backing in too quick, so I do a wrist shot of the inside of the left. I was actually off balance after teh shot and slide into the end board. The D-man who was chasing me then speared me in the stomach, but it didn't matter.
I don't know if it is just me, but when I'm playing I tune out the spectators - I never hear them. But after play stops the sound just sort of crashes down. Neat feeling.
