My First Blue Game
For the first time ever, I got asked to sub in a Blue game and I was actually free to do so. Why? Because school is over! No Tuesday evening plenary session this week! Huzzah!
I was excited, and a little nervous. I believed that I was up to the task, but without ever having done it, I had no idea how it'd go.
It went pretty well, actually. The pace felt fine, although perhaps it was a little strange because there was only one goalie that switched teams halfway through the game. Both teams had short benches: 8 skaters total as opposed to the 12 or 13 we like to keep in Maroon. Amazingly, I didn't get tired. Hooray for cycling!
The best part about playing in Blue? There are so many things to learn from so many different skaters. I'll probably fall asleep tonight running various moves through my head. I'd love to be able to do some of the things I saw today.
Final score: 9-3. The other team scored only when we had a goalie, which actually wasn't all that surprising since quite a few Blue players are former goalies. I scored a goal, too, but it was while we had the goalie, so it only sort of counts.
But let's just count it here and say that I scored a goal in my first Blue game. ;)
