Team 3 lost: 2-1. We have about 5 new players to the team - players who've never played hockey before, all teenaged girls. They're sweet, but they need a lot of instruction, and their skills aren't good. Going to have to train them to drop back when our opponents are in attack, and encourage them to get their sticks in whenever they can.
Team 2 won: 2-1. I got one of the goals! Took it down the right sideline, about halfway down the field, tried to pass it up to someone in a better position to shoot. The defender blocked it and it bounced towards the goalie, who put her foot out...and kicked it in. GOAL! Luck more than anything else, but it pulled us that point ahead.
We had one injury in each game. One of the women in Team 3 possibly dislocated/pulled her shoulder, and we had to stop play and the clock. (Usually play stops, but the clock doesn't.) In the Team 2 game, one of our women trod on the ball and strained her leg/knee/ACL.
Overall, a very good afternoon, except for the part where we had to take Smokey back to the vet hospital because she'd licked the wound open. She now has a Cone Of Shame around her neck.
