Game 3 - Forfeit (by the other team)

Friday afternoon is usually time for jubilation...at least that's what most people I know think. But the approach of this weekend left several things to be desired.
The first: sub-zero temperatures, AS THE HIGH! Second: our opposing team could not get enough people to play against us on Sunday (maybe a blessing in disguise, given the sub-zero temperatures). Third: I ended up with an abscess tooth, an infection, and ultimately a root canal. And despite having antibiotics and Vicodin, I was in pain (and out of commission nearly all weekend).

So instead of venturing outside on the ice, several ventured to Buster's. (disclosure - pictures are from the previous week's loss, post-bar excursion...but fun to see nonetheless).

Until next week, where the weather looks much, much friendlier to anything with a pulse...and exposed skin...

...yes Jane...I said the weather looks warmer this weekend...really!

Game 2 - Our first loss of the season

After receiving a stellar pep-talk from Captain Renz, people were ready to rock! (And it was pretty damn cold, so we wanted to start moving around as soon as possible).

The rink, and game, was much more normal than that of the previous week - which at the time seemed more like we were playing on an indoor gymnasium floor than a slab of outdoor ice. But this week, with a light dusting of snow here and there, the ice claimed a few people, taking unexpected dives right on their bums.


For a large portion of the game it seemed that we were unable to move the ball from our defensive zone to our offensive zone, and no matter which end of the rink we were on, the infamous "amoeba" playing seemed to be back...something we shall remedy next week.

I think despite the tragic outcome of the 2-0 loss, most everyone seemed to have some fun -- and almost everyone made it to Buster's!

Until next week...

First practice of the season - Saturday

After our 1st win of the season, 3-1, we're still coping with the additional 2-players on the ice. Kate and John provided us with a brief analysis of last weeks game...

Those that could make it focused mainly on passing, shooting, and running with 3 forward players - to attack the goal. We'll see what tomorrow brings...
