I've missed this so much!
Comp started last Tuesday night, and we lost 3-2 against a team who played "for sheep stations" as our coach calls it. SRS BSNS HOCKEY LIFE OR DEATH. But that team is always like that.
We won tonight's game 5-0, but they put up a good fight, and while the play wasn't friendly, it wasn't vicious, either. The main reason they lost was that our opponents just weren't playing as a team - a couple of "star players" and others who played like they were just filling in.
About half our team is our top team - B-grade; the team I went down from this year. And they play as a team, which makes such a difference. That was what got us through this evening - playing as a team, passing to each other, calling, and taking a few chances.
It was good.
I had an assist on one goal - two on one against the goalie, and I drew the goalie out, then passed ahead of her to my other winger. And then I scored a goal with about 20 seconds to go - reverse backstick under the stick of another player and behind the goalie.
So a satisfying game in score as well as play.
I haven't played the Thursday night competition yet; I missed out last week because I accidentally caught a no-stops train from inner suburbia to the mid-central coast. A trip that usually takes me 45 mins ended up taking 2 and a quarter hours, by which time I was well and truly screwed for our game time!
Hopefully Thursdays turn out good, too. I already know I'm going to like playing with the Tuesday team.
And with work as it is, I can use all the outlets I can get...
