Sports Ball...I Mean Puck!

The last few years, I've somehow become the person who plays hockey several times a week. I play in a league and do a couple of lessons. I can't quite believe I've become someone who loves hockey as much as I do, but there you are.

This week was our league finals. Since my team had managed to finish second, we were in the championship game. And we won! It was a tight game, everyone played well, and I made a few moves I'm proud of.

Here's me with the cup (made mostly out of kitchen equipment from the dollar store). And yes, it is nearly as big as me. Not, as I told a teammate, that that's a high bar to clear.😆



And here's my team!


It may be spring, but this is Canada so the hockey continues. My spring league starts tomorrow. I start a new set of lessons on Wednesday. Also, the World's Women Championships is being held just outside of Toronto this year, and we've got tickets to a game next Sunday. (U.S.A vs. Czechia, because tickets to all the Canada games were gone like a shot.)

I've got my fingers crossed that this is the year I finally manage a few backwards crossovers. Fingers crossed! Oh, and that I don't get another concussion. (I may have fallen and gotten a minor concussion, but it wasn't too bad and I took a month off playing and did physio and I'm fine now, honest.)
