Where to begin? The season ended with us playing Blue Thunder and
losing. We then got a consolation match against the Crossovers which we won in
OT shootout! We were pretty excited. This was our first time beating them.
Then there was high drama in which I tried to go with Allan and Bittner onto the new team and ended up having to stay with the old team. In the middle of this, the Pandora hockey decided to put together a 3 on 3 league for the women. I told the new captain-Pete, that I wanted a split season with the guys and to play with the women. At first he was skeptical, but I convinced him it was for the best. I ended up splitting with Alex, who is leaving to go to the Ukraine for a visit in June. This way I don't play on Sat and on Sunday.
And here is the best news of all....I've scored goals!!! Yes, I've scored at least one goal in each week playing with the women. They count too because we use the man goalies from the regular leagues. 3 on 3 is a total blast and exhausting! With the close space, we play sideways on the ice, and the fewer number of people, you are really always involved in the action. Today is the last day for 3 on 3 and then I have a month off before I play with the guys again.
I have played in 3 games with the guys. 2 preseason and 1 regular season subbing for a player who was out. I've switched to D and totally love it! It is so dangerous. You just never know when the action will be coming your way. I got a chance to play with Ferny as my partner in the last game and we both agreed that it worked well. We have a team practice today after I have 3 on 3...I know, I'm going to be exhausted.

Last week, I took pics of the guys playing and I plan on going
again tomorrow. I love taking action shots and hockey is difficult to
photograph. Between the constant action and the low light conditions, it is
very challenging.
So I guess in a way, my quest is sort of complete. However, there
is still scoring a goal with the Fighting Narwhals. I know. Ridiculous. But my
women's team name is Kristie's Bewbies. I think I'm cursed with always being on
a hockey team with a stupid name. Hey, it could be worse...I could not be on a
team.
Love Hockey!!!
