In other news, I'll be playing a true ice hockey game in full equipment for the first time in about 12 years tonight. My body aches from working from a floor today and I'm not sure I'll remember how to do anything so please send me your thoughts & prayers.
Like can I still hop the boards? Will I remember how to line up for face offs? Can I even still stickhandle? We'll see!!!
Update: I scored a goal and got an assist! I felt really wobbly at first but started to remember things by the second or third period. I can still jump the boards (though I fell once when I was in a rush 😂) and stick handle a bit.
And I had to play center (I used to mostly play on the wing) so I had to TAKE face offs which was...interesting. Playing center was also exhausting with only two lines and having not played in so long. I am so, so tired. But happy!
