Ha! Don't take it personally I was just generally speaking. From what I saw most of the skaters were fine. There was one girl in particular, she looked like she was about 12, very short, nice enough I'm sure but seriously she could barely move on skates. Unless she was completely and totally sandbagging it, she's not going to have any fun at all. It's bad enough when you're the same size as a 5th grader trying to play against adults, but throw in the fact that she has zero skating ability, and it's just going to be ugly. Trust me by no means am I Datsyuk out there, there are going to be at least a couple of guys who should be playing copper if not bronze skating circles around everyone else, but for the most part we're all on the same level.

The girl in the yellow jersey right? Her friend that was with her was ok as well but still pretty rough. I did think to myself i dont think theyre gonna have much fun with this. Hopefully the ice is better last week it was bad when we first got on just water everywhere.

Yup, yellow jersey.

And ice at Anaheim is 10x better than at Lakewood, although I haven't skated there in quite a while. Is Rink C still "under construction"? :rofl:

I'm willing to put money on it that it is under some form of construction! I haven't been back there since I pulled myself from that game where the ass-wipe on my own team plugged me in the neck during warm-ups, that was maybe 5 weeks ago or so?

Took a loss first game. 5-2 it was back and fourth untill 3rd when they pulled away. It was fun of course unstructured a bit since it was first game. Ended up playing RW with @Peggy_GKG 2 lines so we had some good ice time. We have our 2nd game tonight at 1035 and i gotta be up for work at 4 http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/dsb1.gif warning no one have a transplant operation at a west area medical facility i might drop your kidney on the floor.

I'm gonna be skipping summer league. Outdoor hockey + 95F = death.

We've started off a very strong 2-0-0. I'm expecting our team to get nerfed if we continue like this. We got totally destroyed last season (28GF, 78GA), so the league added a good scorer to our team and dropped us one or two of the more skilled newcomers. Combine that with our two most inexperienced skaters taking a break this season, and in two games, we've tallied 44% of our point total and 60% of our goals scored compared to the previous season.

Well now that I'm in my new digs I've sent off a note to Hockey North America who runs the leagues here in Chicago. Their website is complete crap for trying to contact anyone about finding a team. Also kinda looks like I won't be able to play at the rink next door since I assume Tier 1 is the good guys.
