He Shoots He Scores!!!
Well it's already Tuesday, but I still haven't written about my day on Sunday. Saturday night the coach of the Midget Rep team called me and asked me if I would play a game with them Sunday. Of course I was thrilled and said yes. So Saturday came and it was game time. I hadn't played in a rep game for 5 years, and hadn't had checking hockey for 2 so I was really looking forward to playing in the game. There were like 5 or so other Midget House players that they got to play on the rep team for the game, including Luke Sarginson who's on my team in house league. The game was a lot different then I was used to. It was more fast paced and rougher with the checking and all. I was hurting a little bit only cause my body wasn't exactly used to it. But I think I played pretty good throughtout the game, and could have made that team this year for sure. The team didn't do good at all though and had major problems with positional play and stuff. We lost 8-2...BUT...I went away happy because I SCORED!!! I got the second goal on a 2-on-1. The other player passed it to me and I was on the right side. I shot the puck over the goalies blocker and it hit the post...then went it. My goal coming into the game was to play good and score, kind of just to prove that I could play with them. So I was successful in that although we lost. I didn't really care too much though. I only got hit hard once in the game which knocked the wind out of me for a few seconds but was nothing really. Overall it was lots of fun and I would love to play for them again sometime!
Later on that night I had a house league game and we won 6-2. I got 2 goals, including the best goal I have ever scored in my life. The whole team was going wild cause the goal was just that nice. They had like 3 or 4 players on me but couldn't get the puck. I just kept it behind the net and then tried to go out in front and they tripped me up. But I kept the puck on my stick while lying face down on the ice and somehow managed to hook the puck right past the goal, off the post (I was told) and into the net. It was awesome!!! The had to stop the game with a little over 3 minutes left because the other teams goalie got into a little fight and got kicked out. But man I had one awesome day in hockey on Sunday!!!
