Entry FeedLast night was our fourth week of hockey. For me, it was the best week so far. I even had a little fun, some of the time. But I don't exactly love it yet.
We did our usual warm-ups, then started onto some backward skating and passing / shooting drills. I actually nailed a few of the drills' and almost nailed a few of the other women on an errant shot on net. I wasn't sure what to yell. Fore! didn't seem appropriate, so I just yelled, "Watch out!"
I had never seen the coach laugh so hard. He explained to me that I really wasn't shooting hard enough to actually hurt anyone. Gee - thanks!
I also had my first fall last night, and didn't get hurt at all! I guess all of that extra equipment really does serve a purpose. Husband's parting line to me before hockey, each and every week, is always, "Remember to fall forward!" I took those parting words of hockey wisdom to heart, and fell forward. It felt like kneeling into a pillow! Of course, I lay on the ice until everyone had stopped moving. I was concerned that if I tried to get up while someone was skating by I would just get knocked down again.
The key to my success last night was finding a few kindred spirits; other women who want to learn to skate a little better, but really just want to get out, have some laughs, and socialize.
I feel youve produced some truly fascinating points. Not too many folks would truly feel about this the way you just did. Im truly impressed that theres so a lot about this subject thats been uncovered and you did it so properly, with so significantly class. Excellent one you, man! Actually great stuff here.
