Entry FeedWomen's hockey has been on for a few weeks now. I don't think I am getting better, and yesterday my five year old proved I am still slow. He literally skating circles around me. And around most of the other women, too.
Tonight, though, I am excited because we will FINALLY get pucks. Yes, we have just been doing "power skating" for the past four weeks.
We have an amazing group of women, and really I only go to socialize. Can you believe it? I go to something that isn't me, and that I actually don't like, to socialize. I am pretty sure that most of the other moms are there for the same reason, too.
Husband asked the coach what it was like teaching a bunch of women. His answer, "You know you're having a hockey practice? And you finish up a drill? Do you turn and start talking to the other guys about movies? Or friends? Or shopping? Well, they do!"
Really? Guys don't talk between drills? I never realized that men were so anti-social during sports! What about in the locker room? You always hear about locker room talk; is it true, or just a myth? We talk in the locker room. We also found out that they have amazing acoustics and that we can be heard, word for word. Yep, apparently, you should watch what you say...
Tonight I am going, putting on my new (used) Graf skates and my purple, number 18 jersey, and I am going to skate with a stick and a puck! Again, I am wondering what the heck I have gotten myself into.
