I'd been taping my sticks up to this point, but I decided to give Tacki-Macs a try. Woah, these things are pretty awesome! I figured why not if I could extend the life on the palms of my fancy new APX2s. I'm a convert now.

Had an odd weekend. The club I helped create actually has another goalie, who is the starting goalie (my decision, he's better than I am, with more experience, and would be better for the club) with an aim for him to move to A Grade when our club has an A grade team next season, while I take the spot in B Grade. However, apparently I got noticed in the first few games I played for them, and I was approached by another club to fill in for their unavailable goalie. I thought I needed the experience, so why not. Had a great game on Saturday, eventually winning in a shootout. It went so well, that they asked me back for their game on Sunday... Against my club... After some arguments for and against inside my own head, I contacted the other leaders in my club and asked what I should do... The overall view was that I should do it for the experience, as well as being able to offer some insight to our guys as to what the other goalie is seeing, and use it as an opportunity for them to learn something too. I told them I wasn't going to go easy, and planned to play the best game I could. The club coaches response was that he wouldn't want me as part of the team if I was planning on anything else (got to respect that). Well, the team I was playing for won 4-2 - One goal against was the third shot in a flurry, and the second one was a great shot that pulled me out of position just enough to open a long side snipe in the last 20 seconds of the game. Came back with some advice for the forwards as well as the defence for my club, but felt terrible beating them. I'm playing again for my club next weekend, so hoping we can get our first win on the board.
