First Hockey game EVER!

SOOO This thursday I went with my Godfather and his local arena to play my FIRST hockey game EVER in a team with equipment and all.........

MANNNNNNN!!!! it was soo hard but sooo nice!.......The equipment is REALLY heavy! The first 30 minutes where SOOO painful!!! But after I caught my second breath...it was OK!!.....


I haven't but on my skates since frebruary so it was hard at the beginning....But we still won 13 to 9.....

I was talking to my mom before the game and I was like: If I score a goal can I have an ice cream....YES.....If I have an assist....can I have an Ice cream? YES.....hum...............If I'm having fun....can I have an ice cream...............SURE!!!

and I have like three or four assists.............soooo My mom owe me an ice-cream! LOL

In the park I can play like three or four hours in a row.......but it's something different with the equipment..........we had two period of 50 minutes........MAN!!!! Thank god for Change-ups

And I had a good times....that's what matters

I'm SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! that must have been amazing!! i remember my first real game.....whoa, so painful memories!!

what position do you play?? i change up between left/right/center! so i'm all over the place...i just don't play defense!!! my fav position is center...i just like the freedom!! lol, but the position i usually play is left wing

13-9!!!! WOW!!! that's a lot of goals scored!!!
who were you playing with? wht did the jersey's look like? how many people were on the bench?
lol, yes i know that's a ton of questions, but hey....

i'll stop there for now and finish questioning later!!! LOL

PWA HA HA HA OK!!! here's the answer

1- I played left wing....but my dream is to be a defenseman....But I'm not really big!
2- I was playing with on the same line as my godfather
3- They Jerseys were like ugly puple....but who cares! WE WON!
4- I didn't count how much we were on the bench But I know we were enough to have someone to change up with

LOL

Sounds like you had a lot of fun!!! Ooo!! And I can play hockey again now!! I'm fully recovered!! I'M SOOOOO HAPPY!!! Plus my team has this big tournament coming up, so it all works out

Good luck for that big tournament of yours

Wow Jozi!!! Congrats! Sounds like so much funnn! You girls are so lucky, you are all able to actually play real hockey. I really wish I lived in a place that I could do that.

We all need to meet up and really play!!

I've actually never played ice hockey before

I'll bet the next chance you get you'll try it Heather. It's soooo much fun!!

Hey Heather!!!.....do you have outside icerink in winter???.......I hope you do?

Oh yes, we've got that much! haha...unfortunately that's all it's good for; the winter!

We use it in the summertime for music festival and sometimes we go and "shoot some hoops" ..but I skate in the winter, oohh yes!!

That would be a TERRIFIC idea....we should all meet up and we can play in a game!!!

Jozi, that sounds like a great game...who cares about the jerseys when ya win!! lol...but i'm glad you had fun!!!!

Jamie, SOOO glad to hear you've recovered!!! i know we'll have a tournament for our league, but i have NO clue when it is!! good luck in yours!!

Heather, wow, god bless you for holding out that long without playing hockey!!! once i started playing i don't think i could give it up for months at a time. i freak out when i'm off the ice for a week!!

General question!! do you guys tape your socks around your pads? I found that out at the beginning from one of the guys and it is SO helpful!! i don't see many other guys on my team do it though!

I tape my socks a little bit. I'm a goalie, so it doesn't really matter, but they are still pretty loose on me. Thanks Danni!! I'm soo glad I get to play again. I WAS HAVING WITHDRAWALS!!

Yeah, i know EXACTLY what you're talking about with the withdrawls!!!! OMG!!! we had the week off and i thought i was going to die!!!

I HATE THAT!!!! It's like when the conference finals ended, there was a couple days without watching hockey, AND I WAS FREAKING OUT!!!!!

For all you dying hockey fans who live near jersey!! devils replays of games throughout the season will be playing every wednesday from June 20th through opening night!!!!! FSN NY!!! then they are going to replay again on thursday at midnight and saturday afternoon!!

....I laso tape my socks on three places...over the ankle.....under the knee....and over it!!....well at least that's what my father told me to do! LOL

That's a good idea. That's what I do

okay, so thank god!! i do tape up and around my knee, but it like it circle around it twice then go back down my leg and around my ankle twice. technique taught to me by...my sister's bf..!! i don't have a hockey bf (or any bf for that matter ) lol!!!! ONE DAY!!!!! Janssen is MINE!!!! lol.....sometimes i may sneak out to see parise!!....LOL

Wow haven't been here in a long time, sorry

Yea for your first game!!! I had my first real game 2 weeks ago, I was a little nervous but my team is amazing, they are the coolist bunch of guys. We didn't win, (sad day) but we had a good time. I also had my first camp last weekend, I was a little dissapointed because they had nothing for goalies to do other then take shots (which I can do any day of the week for free) but the one redemming factor was that when we played our game at the end of camp it turned into a shootout goalie duel, with me holding my own against a goalie who has played 8 seasons in a DU league. It took 6 shooters and a rolling puck before it got past me, not bad for no training and only playing for 4 months......

Wow, sounds like that was fun and well worth it! Don't you just love it when you can do so well while everyone else just seems like they are doing better anyway? I bet you had a blast!

Wow, that sounds like soooo much fun!!! i finally got up the courage to jump the boards!!! IN AND OUT!!! lol!!!! about time....been playing since january!!! lol.....but congrats hockeygirl!!! for just playing for months against experience....that's really good!!!

That sounds awesome Simi!!! I'm super happy to be back out on the ice. I swear I was going crazy when I couldn't.
