That's not fair. I mean, being bitched out. Like knock it off, guys, quit acting like your gear doesn't stink. :( (imho, it's also just plain not safe to have A and D/novice players mixed together. What was their logic? Not enough people for separate ice?)

Good god that was the warmest arena I've ever played in. Gross. I soaked through my headband AND my sweatband. The ice was fine, but somehow the air was just hideously warm for playing hockey. Folks on the benches were taking their undershirts off. My friend (who has never seen a live hockey game) came to watch us play, and commented that "You were moving kind of stiffly, I thought you were hurt." Well thanks buddy. On the other hand, he enjoyed the game immensely and said it must be hard work to track the puck constantly. Counterpoint to that, one of our best players complimented me later for reading the play "perfectly" when he and one of our other best players had a two on 0 (oops, defence) and absolutely stoned them. So good for me.

I stopped going to the adult hockey practices because they merged A/B with C/D so now I can't go there just to learn without being bitched at by upper level players. I want to go and learn and have a good time. Then, I have people asking me why I don't go anymore. There's a reason why I didn't go to the all level classes. It really takes the fun out of going.

ugh! looks like i'll be updating my resume instead of Family Hockey with the lil' beardos this weekend. The Co. is going under right quick!

Dangler fixes this ;)

Judging by the number of sticks that I've seen around the beer leagues around here, I'd say people are buying into True. That should translate into some early adopters into the gloves. I think what is helping True get the foothold better than some other "new guys" is that they can point to some of their OEM successes and draw people in. "Remember that {insert stick here} that you loved? That was us." Definitely helps.
