The Gobblers are on a STREAK! Go 2-0 in the first two games of the season!
Thursday night was another night for celebration. The Gobblers were shorthanded but came out on top, despite tired legs, as we beat the Yellow Team, 3-1. No points for me, but a solid game and close to 40 minutes of ice time. The Gobbler's are currently unbeaten after the first two games. This was a great way to come out, not to mention a great team effort with a shorthanded situation. Typically, we will skate ten players and a goalie, yet Thursday we were only able to skate eight and a goalie. Two players may not sound like much, yet with a normal ten player game, we are able to setup with two full lines on offense and defense. With two players down, there are two less players to cycle which means more ice time and tired legs. A typical game will be about 30 minutes of ice time per player, but as that time rises, the muscles also get much more sore. Overall, great win and a great workout. Looking forward to next week!

Congrats on your win!! Anytime you can get a win no matter how it's always rewarding. I do not know to much about Hockey and the rules about it but you have to be very talanted to play I think. I will keep up with the Gobblers and hope you guys keep on a winning track!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. Any win is great, I agree. Hockey is not easy, for sure, but is addicting and rewarding. There is a lot going on and a lot to be aware of when playing. Each player has to skate and focus on the puck action. The cool part is that for the most part, much of what you are doing becomes second nature and instinct takes over. I am glad that you will be keeping up with us and I also hope the winning streak continues. Now I just need to figure out how to get a goal scoring streak going again.
