Now begins the fun email chains of being on a 'collection of draft skate players' team. We have to figure out player rep, team name, and all that other bullshit. This should be entertaining.

Weinerschlongal, crest will be a hotdog with a face on it. Jersey should be mustard yellow with red stripes. I think that covers all the hockey jersey requirements.

One guy I've played with a few times had a team in Germany. Their jersey was the Bavarian flag with lederhosen on it. It was pretty awesome but god awful to look at while he was skating, it gave a weird trippy motion to the blue and white.

Just played a simple D game and ensured I was always passing to the open man or dumping the puck to make the other team chase it down constantly. Thankfully the forecheck showed up that night and put pressure on them. I almost had a seeing eye goal that snuck through everyone, but it was just wide. Also blocked a shot off the arch of my foot, and one off my giant rear end. We don't have a trophy to cart around, but we did have beer. Also diet mountain dew, for some reason. That's me in the dead center first row.

Rink finally put up league winner pics instead of our blurry-rear end cell phone pics. Bronze team. I'm lower right. The trophy on top of the league winner trophy here is the beer contest trophy (the team that bought the most pitchers over the season across all leagues) we won last year. They realized it was a terrible loving idea and never did it again. We were the one and only winners and they finally let us take a picture with it. Some idiot promptly dropped it in the cafe area and it broke into like 4 pieces.  Silver team. I'm to the left of our retard goalie.  Our dual parades through town were a stunning success. I can't wait for my day with both trophies. Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Aug 31, 2015 |

Was able to make a pick-up roller game at the park this Sunday morning, right at the start of a heatwave too. After exactly 3 hours of skating, my heart rate monitor approximated 1391 calories burned. Not bad for casual pick-up. Took pretty much the rest of the day to properly re-hydrate.

The guy in the suit bought his outfit at the Salvation Army that day and probably creeped all the parents out at the game.

I choose to believe that HZ is never not throwing up the metal sign. That his hand is permanently stuck in that position due to a tragic celly incident years back.

My team spent all of our season this year in last place, ending regular season play at 1-11-3, but since there are only 4 teams in our C9 division, we got into the playoffs. We pulled off a massive upset and just took the championship in a nail biting, brutal, and tense 6-5 win over the team that we have been rivals with over the season. This is awesome.

Looks like I'm signing up as a D League goalie tomorrow when fall league registration gets to open up. Cool thing is that we get to play at the same arena that the Swamp Rabbits (former Greenville Road Warriors) play at due to our ice rink being down for maintenance. Probably going to cost the team some games, but D league is all about learning how to play your position.

Tournament trip report: Was pretty cool, it was held at the National Ice Centre which is a 10,000 seater arena with all the mod cons. We got the Farm Team's dressing room for the weekend which was awesome, got to have my own stalls for my goalie gear and leave it there over the weekend so felt all pro like. Overall the hockey was good, 6 team tournament made out up of mostly newbie teams except for the one team that didn't get the memo and was made up of former junior and national league players and promptly destroyed everyone. We made it through to the semis and then came up against them which went about as well as you'd expect, then in the finals they lost 2-1 so haha get hosed sand bagger team. Tournament hockey is good, my body still hurts.

"There was a distinct kicking motion" is my favorite, even if it was a shot from the point. That usually gets a laugh out of the ref.

Don't forget skating out the net to swing your stick wildly against the boards while yelling at your team and the refs. Because somehow it's the refs faults.

As a defenseman, if I'm on the ice for a goal against, my go to move is to celly hella hard and then do the ejaculatory pantomime into my goalies face while yelling "LOSER!" and then line up for the next faceoff like nothing happened.

You preferably want a teammate to hold your stick so you can do it double-handed. This is a fan-favorite as well:

Welp spent a full summer doing power skating and adult learn to play continuing for I guess a full year's worth of professional lessons. In addition to a few months of adult's first steps lessons. Going to play league games with the team I played weekly with on rented ice. Got my own jersey and number on the way and everything. I'm even being put on the line with their top scorer because he likes how I refuse to be moved out of the front of the net during our weekly games, haha. Nervous but super psyched. Season starts on the 12th.

Bought an all-steel EZ-Goal today, with backstop and targets. It was $150 with a coupon. Definitely a quality investment so far.

I know this has been covered a bunch of times, but is there a good place to buy HDPE sheeting online to make a shooting pad? I've been to Home Depot but they never seem to have what I'm looking for.
