Freak

That's right, this 19-year old Canadian male had never played a game of ice hockey in his life, before Wednesday. A bunch of my friends (all really good hockey players) formed a team for the UVic intramural hockey league, and since I was goalie on the grade 7 floor hockey team that won our school tournament, we thought it would be fun if I finally got to play ice hockey. I borrowed gear from my friend's dad, bought a helmet, stick and skates, and I'm good to go.

I'm a pretty weak skater (can't stop), so it was an adventure to say the least. I think I held my own though, and we won 3-2. I played left wing and had an even +/-, which I'm proud of.

I can't wait for next Wednesday!
