Thanks! Hopefully we'll be getting some ice out on the ponds this next week to get some practice in. Starting out with a little more stress-free environment with friends seems like a better idea than drop-in with all the high schoolers still on break.

Little update: ended up getting a Bauer Profile 940 mask. I got a great deal on some used reebok pads so I was able to pay extra for a helmet. Can't wait to get out on the ice and try it all out!

Drop in report: Two NYE skates today. I elected to go to the afternoon skate. Yes, it was twerpfest. But they were good players, but danglers fo sho! Five goalies showed up (?!?). My end, we did 15 on, 15 off. That was fine with me. Got in touch with my inner Hasek, even executed (poorly) a Hasek roll that stopped the goal. Didn't quite have sight of the puck until I just saw it sitting in the crease! Covered it up and was called a genius. But in all- I still SUCK at goal but am having enough fun to keep coming back for more. Am I a sucker for punishment? I think so...

The sock family has grown a little out of hand lately. So before I pick some out to sell, I thought I'd take a family pic.
