I'm getting the shakes...

This sucks...

No hockey on TV, torn hamstring last week means no ice for the next month or two (hopefully not longer). I am really at a point where I don't know what to do with my time. I can only do this for so long. I HATE THE OFFSEASON.

Duuuude..don't even get me started. I don't have any injuries like yourself, but I'm gonna have to drive 4 hours for ice time...and given my schedule, the chance of me having enough time for that is pretty slim.

We've got 2 stadiums here in town, and they both got rid of the ice about a month ago. I hate summer...in a way.

How about me? We got just 7 Months of ice here. Now THAT sucks.

Bring it on.

Even though I am still playing once a week , I am noticing I am going on this and urging to play street hockey so much more.

I miss Saturday night hockey on TV from 7 until I pass out during a Canucks game....Jim Hughson: "and Josh Green, from Camrose, Alberta, former Medicine hat Tiger, Swift Current Bronco, and Portland Winter Hawk....." I miss Don Cherry and Kelly Hrudey between the periods. I like seeing a snow flurry outside Rexall Place before the game starts on HNIC.....

Hockey is the only sport I never get burnt out on. Playing football in high school by the last week or two of the season I was always sick of going to practice, the games weren't as exciting, and I stopped following the NFL until the play-offs. Track & Field, rugby, and what not were the same way.

I took a break off hockey this season, and I was okay with it until I played some pick up a couple weeks ago. I'm going nuts now I need to get on the ice!

At least for me, a beer leaguer, I could play every night if I could and still love it. I just added a 3rd night of skating and couldn't be happier.

Hammy is doing well. It is becomming more apparent that it is either just a pulled muscle or I have developed Wolverine (X-Men not Michigan) like healing powers. I had PT Wednesday, resumed my regular workouts Thursday (although at a greatly reduced intensity), and i am planning on getting on the ice Monday evening (depending on how Monday's PT session goes). Looks like I will finally get to do more than just wear the new skates around the house.

Get a neoprene wrap for your thigh to keep your hammy warm when skating. I wear them all the time when playing. One of them fell apart before my last game and I didn't wear one on my left leg. By the third period, my hamstring was starting to feel a twinge. Any good medical/surgical supply store will stock them. Try to find a wrap style, not the sleeve. The sleeve never fits right on your thigh and always falls down. Good luck.
