We lost our season opener on Saturday 6-1. The rink was an hour away and sat about 2,000 people. The other team was more skilled than us and most of the game was spent in our defensive zone. Our team also did not play well at all. We kept up with them in the first period and went into the second trailing 1-0. I hit the post on a one-timer on a power-play in the first. In the second period, we fell apart and they put in three goals. In the 19th minute of the second, I had a high hit and the player went down grabbing his face and screaming. They gave me a 10-2 penalty for contact to the head. Similar to European soccer, there was a lot of acting on the part of both teams. After the game, our coach made us go on a run. At practice the next day, we skated for about 15 minutes. Our next game is on Saturday.
We have yet to get the internet and cable set up in our apartment. Sean leaves for his sister's wedding on Wednesday morning.
I always knew there was a lot of acting in hockey! Great description of a tough game, Allie! I am in awe of what you are doing! Love, Poppy
