Snow Cones: 2, Ice Men 1
I haven't written about the Snow Cones this season because we haven't won a game. It's been very depressing and really not that much fun. Being one of 2 women on the team has been a challenge, the guys assume that because I'm a woman and a bit newer at this whole hockey thing than they are, that it's really quite okay to ride me about 'do this, do that.' Most of the time I'm fine with that.

But this season, I've been working my ass off, practicing at least twice a week, honing my skills, while very few of them don't play anywhere else, let alone take lessons. In short, they're staying the same while I'm improving. But they don't feel the need to harrass each other about this, they just pick on me and the other woman (who is also improving). They let the slow guy who consistently passes in front of the net continue doing so, they let the wing who thinks he's playing defense do that and yet they bitch at me because I'm not fast enough (last night I responded to this by skating faster than they've ever seen me. That stopped the comments.) even though I'm consistently play my position and challenge the other team when they have the puck, etc.

In short, I'm sick of it and not sure what to do. But I'm glad that we finally had a win.
