Last night, I decided to skip band and play pickup hockey instead. It was the right decison -- my entire line was people who are going to be on the team I'm starting, so it was great to play with them. We scored 2 goals on our line -- I had the assist on the first one and actually scored the second one with my newly discovered backhand shot. The goalie was spread-eagle on the ground and I popped it up over his leg and into the net. A fine victory!
