Hockey *is* fun!
All the stress of having to rebuild the team paid off last night. No, we didn't win, but I had more fun than I've ever had playing co-ed hockey. What made it great? There were no players with monster egos, no players who talked trash on the ice or had fights during the game, no coach on the bench feeding the egos, none of that. It all worked together and I had a great time. It sounds like everyone else did too. I played center for the first time and did not screw it up. That's right, I made no major mistakes and even had some decent shots on goal and won most of my face offs. I came away happy that I'd decided to rebuild the team. It was most certainly worth the effort!
