I went to noon hockey for the first time this season and 20 minutes in I felt like....

Fortunately, it got better from there.  :)

Actually it was really fun!  We had 9 guys out there which is about right.  We could of used 3 or 4 more so you would have someone to switch with when you got tired - which for me - as I pointed out already was like three minutes into skating.  

Anyway, I hope to get to play a bunch more over the holidays since we are going to be home anyway.  My NHL dream is not dead yet (Unfortunately to me these days "NHL" stands for "No Hurt Ligaments" or "No Hemorrhaging Later" or "Need Help Leaving" or "New Hernia Limitations")  :)
