Zed, the Hockey Player

[przed]

I have somehow, in the last three years, become a hockey player.

Well, it's not a total mystery. I started taking lessons so I could help out with my daughter's team, and then discovered that it was fun. And this year I figured I was good enough after two years of lessons that I'd join our clubs senior women's league.

And being in the league, meant that this year I got my very own hockey picture!




The jersey is wrong, since the week after pictures were taken I got traded. My original team was last in the standings and I was officially the worst player on the team. But I'm getting better! Some of the new women in the learn-to-play classes told me I'm really good (I'm not, but it was nice to hear) and I can now keep up with some of the players who used to regularly leave me in the dust, so yay!

I think it's wonderful that you're playing hockey and I'm so glad you like it. Had no idea that leagues like that traded players but you look great in your gear.
