Skated a game with a bunch of D1 College and ECHL players. Dan Ellis was supposed to be in the net but couldn’t make it.

Missed by about an inch the chance to score the first goal of the game. Oh well.

Fun game, the College and ECHL players were great. Had some beers and grilled burgers with them afterwards.

A bad game of hockey is better than a good day at work. What’s the age range in your league? Do you end up in the age and treachery vs young idiots that can go full tilt for a whole shift, but are still too testosterone filled to pass the puck?

True about the bad game versus work.

Our league basically runs from 18 to… well old. The captain of my team is 64.

We split them up into 3 levels based on skill, set captains and then literally run a draft.

So the teams get shuffled some every season.

It balances out pretty well.

08/20/2013 - Hockey

1 hour of drop in. Short benches, 3 per side. A lot of skating.

I could match the fast 20 somethings pretty easily.

516

08/21/2013 - Skating lessons and Hockey

1 - hour skating lessons.
1 - hour hockey scrimmage

We were short players, skated 4 on 4 full ice with 1 on our bench.

Got a hat trick.

Skated well against the younger guys to where they were doing crap like trying to slew foot me, hooking their stick blade into my gloves and trying to yank them off.

Maybe too much beer afterwards.

When they get chippy, you know you are doing well!

I recognize all in the words in your least sentence, but I don’t think they go together like that.

518

Stop thinking of them as younger guys. You’re obviously a virile, badass machine. You’re not lettuce baby, you’re wine.
