The Diary Of A Wanna Be Ice Hockey Player

19/06/2017 & 26/06/2017 - Game 4 & 5

6 - 5

Pythons Vs. Hornets.

Last last Monday's game was epic - definitely one to remember. Again, we lost, but still. I made this epic save when the goalie over-shot a butterfly, and I managed to save the puck. The whole team saw it too, which was epic. Through the whole game, only one goal got through on my shift.

We have three defense lines, and I'm on the first. Our second line is the worst (Pretty much every goal was on that shift) and the third line is the best. It's awesome knowing that I'm getting better and better through every game.

4 - 3

Panthers Vs. Hornets.

Last Monday's game was epic too - But the team seemed all over the show. No goals were scored on my shift, and I felt like I was improving heaps. I was playing more offensive defence, if that makes sense. One time when I was enforcing the blue line on our offensive zone, I saw the puck was loose so I skated forward and carried it behind the net, passing it to our center before sprinting back to my position. It was cool, and although it may seem like *Oh, Ok* I found it so exciting. Childish, I know. 

Oh, and when I was defending, the goalie was about to cover the puck and I whacked it out of his hand which was a really stupid idea. I was cursing like a sailor and I hastily threw a 'Sorry!' Over my shoulder before pushing up. I mean, we got the puck safely up to our offensive zone, but still. It gave me a heart attack. I know those silly little mistakes can cost us a game, and I would hate to be the cause of an easy goal.

Oh, and no goals were scored on my shift =)
