Another season of men’s league hockey started last night. Due to the Monkees lack of interest in the summer league, I’ve joined another team at a rink I’ve never played at before. A couple of guys from the old team put this team together and asked me to play on it. It was nice being back out on the ice after taking weeks off. This league is one division lower than what I played in last, so it’s a bit slower, but there is still enough talent to make it interesting.

We had sixteen guys show up for our first game, so it was hard to get into the flow of the game. We ended up with four forward lines, which is the equivalent of what we had on our varsity high school team. A little bit much for men’s league hockey. I guess it was too much for the whole team, as we ended up losing 4-1 after never really finding the groove. Hopefully less people show up for the next game and we have better results.
