First Hockey Game
Posted November 4th, 2007 @ 11:52pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Due to a variety of things - a semi-bum shoulder I didn't want to risk hurting further prior to a golf trip, the golf trip, etc. - tonight was my first hockey game.
It's incredibly obvious that I've got a long way to go before I get to even a "good" level, but fortunately, that's all skating. In other words, if I can improve my skating, my hockey will improve.
I'm finding ice hockey to be interesting in that the puck moves a lot faster, we can use things like the boards that we couldn't use in college roller hockey, and there's a lot more room out there than we had before. I'm not quite certain where I should position myself most of the time, but I'm working on it.
Oh, and the score? Our first win of the year: 2-1. Maybe I'm good luck. 🙂
