I couldn't get enough hockey, so I went to the beginner class last night. We scrimaged at the end of class, which is always tiring but fun. One guy, though, was so agressive that it was kinda scary. Our regular instructor wasn't there so the guy filling in didn't pay attention as this agressive bastard was swinging his stick wildly, chopping mine away from the puck (instead of skating faster to get away from me) and even holding onto my stick. I was like 'hey! this is a BEGINNER CLASS, not the NHL, and you sir, are no Wayne Gretzky.

In the end, I started fighting back and I do suppose that playing against someone like him will only help in the long run but it's startling nonetheless.
