DEFENSE! I've been keen to play defense and learn the position and this fall league I'm two games in as a D-man. Holy smokes! I am LOVING IT!!!!

Holy moly. I can't even imagine. Thoughts are with you brother..l.l

And man am I chuffed to be on your team with all those great players!!!!!

Awesome day of hockey. MtHockeydad and I with 8 more teammates. Tied the first game and lost it in a shootout.1 to 2. Helluva game. Won the second! Damn I love this game!!!!!

Ummm. Yeah. What he said....

Chin up laddie, always darkest before the dawn and all that. You'll do fine. Stop for a minute, fill your canteen, take a drink, shoulder your pack and keep going. You can do it.

Yeah, in the last ten years I'm 0 for 8.

Been a firefighter for a long time. Learn to box it up and send it away. Not good to dwell. Process and dispose,

Sort of the same, but different. Played baseball as a youth and in high school. Throw right catch left. Right eye dominant shooter. Throw right lacrosse, shoot left hockey. First stick I ever had was left and it felt great, with my right hand on top. Found out later on that there were other options!

Never listen to naysayers. I'm 54 going on 14 and I took the game up last year. I skated in a tournament and a recreational league this spring after taking a adult beginner skills course last winter. I start c league in about 6 weeks. I have a ball and although I'm not highly skilled or anything, I'm learning all the time and am a reasonably effective grinder.....DO IT!!!!

Smooth. Admire your willingness and deliberation.

Good counterpoint to your vent Bruh.....

Whoa.....

Strung up my first lacrosse head last night and it throws and catches beautifully. I came to lacrosse via hockey. Both games hold my attention like nothing else ever has....sweet!

Yes. Super comfy.
