I was called at the last minute to be a league captain and participated in my first draft last night.
The local leagues run two sessions per season, and there's a draft for each session. It's pretty cool because even a powerhouse team only lasts two months, and everyone has the opportunity to move up (or down) a division if their play improves (or worsens!).
11 skaters per team, five teams in our C division, so we'll all get plenty of skating time.
I think I drafted a pretty solid team of above average consistent players--no crazy hot shots, no slower players, some returning seasoned players who have taken a few years off.
We have a great A-league forward on our team this year, our goalie!
We also have the best B League goalie on our team--she is skating out with us. :)
I'm bushed--played dropin until 11:30 on Sun and Tue, hung out with my rookie skaters until after 10 on Weds, late night at draft last night; I need a nap, but life is good!
