Around mid-January I decided I wanted to start playing hockey. My pal offered to take me to public skate, and after some fantastic pointers and trying his skates, I fell hard and fast for hockey.
And by hard and fast I mean, I signed up for Learn to Skate and Learn to Play within a week. I went on the hunt for all the gear. All the sudden I was spending more time at the rink than lifting weights. I have learned more about my mind and body in the past 2 to 2.5 months than I have in a long time. It has brought me so much joy.
Last Saturday, I got to play in my first game thanks to I fell even more in love with game. My teammates and folks on the other teams made it a very welcoming, kind, and enjoyable learning experience. The other team even named me Outstanding Player.
At 39.5 years young, I’m feeling on top of the world. I can’t thank everyone enough for the love and support as I have jumped in with both feet and my entire soul into the game of hockey. Sports save Iives my friends, no matter the age.
