Adventures in Coaching

przedWith footie season done, it's time to gear up for hockey season. So, this Saturday I skipped one of my TIFF films to attend the women only coaching seminar. It was an on-ice lesson and I was looking forward to getting on the ice again.
Remember last week I said I was diagnosed with osteoporosis? (You can see where this is going, right?)
I'm on the ice for five minutes, I'm standing there listening to the instructor to explain the next drill, and I absentmindedly lean back on my skates.
The thing with hockey skates is that the blades are rounded. Lean backwards and you keep going. So. I start to fall, I flail around, and I fall. Right on my left hand.
Crunch.
Yep, I broke my left wrist. And yep, I'm left-handed.
I'm going to be in a cast for 4 to 6 weeks. I'm being optimistic and hoping I can play with my team soon after that.
All-in-all, I'm going to be quite happy to see the end of 2019.
P.S. Typing one-handed sucks.

Too late for me, I guess!
