Hockey pics from last week

Since I work today, and can't play hockey, here are the pictures from last week. I'm the one in the green jersey and the red socks.

Game 2, I-League

Played my second game of hockey tonight. Yeah, that's me in the green. It's an instructional league, so I can't be too proud of the fact that we won, but I'm still proud of it. 5-2, according to my wife. I don't remember for sure, I was too busy playing to worry about the score. Had a great time. Played LW last week, RW this week. Then I got a little practice with one of the goalies afterwards.

My stats for tonight:
1 assist
5 shots on goal
1 turn-over
2 off-sides
0 PIM

More Ice Hockey!

On Saturday night after going to the Saturday Night service at Richland Hills, we met up with Randi and Chris, along with Silas and Olivia. Got something to eat and then went over to Grapevine Mills with the intent to walk a lap around the place. Instead, we ended up taking Silas and Olivia to their first sporting event: A hockey game. A game between the DFW Titans (who I later learned were a Public Safety hockey team consisting of firefighters and police officers) versus somebody with red jerseys and what Amy identified as a Panther logo. I don't know where they were from, as I haven't seen them before and none of their equipment that I saw had it written on it.

It was pretty fun, Silas got all excited and watched everything. Olivia didn't like the buzzer at the end of the periods. It was a good time. The Titans won 2-1 despite most of the end being in Power Play or 5 on 3 against them.

I've toyed with the idea of trying to play ice hockey, but since I've never played, I don't want to dive into it due to the expense of the whole thing. I might try going to pick-up game night over there sometime if I can find used equipment for cheap enough at some point, but I don't know yet. It's always looked fun to me, but the cost and the fact that I've never played ice hockey before sort of make me wonder if it's a good idea. I figure I'll keep watching on craigslist and see what I can see. There was a pair of hockey skates that looked to be in great shape somebody was selling in my size in Frisco for $15, so if I do it right it might not actually be too bad. Who knows, we'll see.

Chim chiminey chim chiminey

Well, I've been giving some consideration to starting to post again, and may even do so. No promises yet. As with any reviving blog though, never expect something identical to what you're used to seeing. What I will do, however, is provide a few photos of my new apartment building and the big hole in the roof from where a chimney over a different unit was blown off by the storms last night. I wasn't here, but Amy was, and she said she felt the building shake pretty good.
