The season has arrived! We have all been patiently waiting for our first practice. Some of us had a chance to get out a few times to clean the dust off the old skates but there is nothing like stepping on the ice with a full squad and an official coach! It was almost like being 15 again and making it to our first rep team try out!
Ok so it wasn’t a try out and it certainly wasn’t a rep team. Let’s face it, we are not 15 anymore. Most of us have doubled if not tripled the “15 year” mark, having started this beautiful game well into our adult life. Just not sure the mind knows it!. “Hard lap” is what we kept hearing between drills. Lungs bursting, legs burning! Bring it on! Just can’t get enough of a good workout and to be constantly reminded to “challenge yourselves”!
Gord Lennox has stepped up to lead our group of players to what sounds like a a fun but competitive season. We had a record breaking 28 players on this ice with two goalies for our first practice. What more can you wish for!!!
It was a great skate and we can’t wait for the next one. See you on the ice!
