I've been struggling *bad* in the Tuesday night leauge here, and I'm trying to figure out why. I think I have it partially figured out:
Its a late start time on a work night 9:45 to be exact, so I'm running low on energy. I'm seeing what I can do to get more energy pregame, but its really hard for me to get a nap in between work and gametime. Soon to be a moot point as the game is moving to an 8pm start time and moving to the rink 5 minutes away from my house vs a half hour. The
So I'm back after a hiatus due to, well, life.
I managed to get onto a beginners league here over the summer, which was just what I needed for getting some confidence.

Two Fridays ago before going on vacation I decided to hit the local drop in.

During warmups/stretching I was making lateral pushes and wound up rubbing a skate against a post. Stood up, and right back down again. huh, odd......get off the ice, take off the skate. Well, its
