A Year in Hockey... I hope. Part Fifteen.


 Another step- I’ve registered for the Southwest Denver Oldtimers Hockey League Fall camp.  The camp is four weeks starting on the 15th of September.  I‘m really looking forward to it, but I know I need to continue the not really caring thing.  I’m still worried about my backwards skating, even though I did better tonight than I ever have. 

I’ve been trying to skate every Tuesday and Thursday.  There has been a cadre of guys out on the ice a lot of the time I’m there.  We’re all at about the same level.  We gave each other a couple of tips on backwards skating and hockey stops a week or so ago, and continued tonight.  Towards the end of the night, one of the guys- Aaron- asked what I was trying to get out of skating and I told him about this hockey lark.  He said they were working on the same thing.  I asked if they were in a league, and they are just starting in October.  He asked if I was interested in playing… so yeah, I’m on a hockey team.  My quest to play a season in a beer league is about to come to fruition.  HUZZAH!!!!
