Hockey Players!

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Hello there! This is a place where you can meet other hockey players(if there is any) and talk about hockey! If you play hockey, please post here, because right now I think I am the only one.

I am starting to get lonely.

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Oh, I'm sorry! I don't play hockey, but you can talk to me about it!!

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Okay. I was felling lonely in here. 

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

So, uh...Hockey? What is it?

Spoiler

I swear I actually know what hockey is, I'm not that oblivious.

 

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

It’s a sport. I was so looking forward to hockey this year but then I broke my arm so now I can’t do anything. Which sucks, obviously. And typing is a little hard with a cast. 

[Cosmical Existence she/her]

We can't be the only hockey players on a forum of this side. That's just crazy. 

Hi! I play left wing or center. I've played on a rural team, church hockey with my dad, and a girls league. I haven't played on an actual league in a long time, but my friends and I play it for fun at the local arena every once in a while.

My favourite NHL team is Vancouver Canucks, and it has been my favourite team since I was old enough to know what the NHL was. I am not just somebody who jumped on the band wagon when they were doing good. 

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Ayyyyyyyyyy! Sorry for not responding sooner, i was very busy. It's great to meet another Hockey player here, I thought I was the only one. Nice! I play usually play center, but I sometimes play defese of wing. My favorite NHL team is the Philidelphia Flyers. I know. I'm sorry. I play In a bantam legue, so checking. It kinda sucks that we check because I'm like the shortest person in the league, but whatever. Hockey is Hockey. It's Nice to meet you! Sorry I gotta go.

[Cosmical Existence she/her]

I understand the frustration of the league allowing checking, especially when you are short. I'm 5' 0.5", so I totally understand. Though I actually find sometimes being shorter helps more than being tall. You have a lower center of gravity.  It also helps that I'm built a little tougher than most short people. If I was in The Lord Of the Rings I'd be a tough hobbit or a dwarf. 

 

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Yeah, this is so true. Over all, i like being small, but when there's checking it kinda is. . . wierd. I'm like half the height of half the people who play hockey.  I had hockey practice today. It was really fun. Great to be out on the ice again. I recently broke my arm, so I have to stick handle with one arm, but I can skate fine. It's still really fun.

[Cosmical Existence she/her]

You're still playing hockey that soon after a broken arm?Stick handling with one arm? Wow, that is a commitment to hockey I don't think I have.  Never had to make that choice though, seeing as I've never broken any bones in my body. *knock on wood* 

 

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Yeah. Hockey is my favorite thing to do, ever. I hope you never break any bones. I've had mine in a cast for well over a month. It sucks. 

[Cosmical Existence she/her]

Oof. How did you break it? 

 

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Playing tag. Yeah, I was pretty stupid. I fell of a rock and landed on it bad. we did't get a checkup for a week becausemy parents thought I was just being whiny. 

[Cosmical Existence she/her]

Playing tag?  Oof. I hope there is no long term ramifications for not getting it checked out for that long. 

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Yeah, hopefully not. When we went to the doctors to get my full cast off and put on a splint, they said, “Did you know, you actually had two broken bones, one in the arm and one in the hand?” 
We politely said no, but we were thinking, “No! How could we know? You have the X-Rays! We don’t! You never told us!”

 It was pretty funny. 

[Turtle they/them]

I don't play hockey but I'm a figure skater, so if anyone wants to talk about ice sports in general or wearing masks on the ice or zambonis I'm here.

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Zambonis are awesome. Yay! Another skater! Woohoo! Wearing masks on the ice sucks. You can barely breathe. But I'll do it,because then I can play hockey. 

Skating in general is just so fun. 

Sometimes I'll watch a hockey game, and then watch a soccer game, and I'm like, "Why are they so slow? Hurry up! Your slow!" The difference in speed is incredible.

[Turtle they/them]

I know right! It’s like, when I skate and there’s hardly anyone else on the ice I go so fast! I once played Marco Polo with some friends on the ice because we where the only people there.  

[Bearer of all agonies he/him]

Yeah, I know how you feel.
I love going to open skate on a day that no one will be there, so me and my friends can just mess around and do whatever we want.

Recap: Last week we played two games against our rivals. We thought that they were going to win, but 16 seconds into the game, we scored. Emotions were high, we were feeling great. But at the end of the period, it was 5-1 the other team. Halfway throught the secondperiod, it was 7-1 and one of our players accedently tripped and checked another player into the boards. He was knocked unconcious, and got a major concussion. The rink manager called the ambulance and they took him to the hospital. We had to end the game early because of that. Between games we went outside, and played a friendly soccer game with them. It was really fun, and they were all really nice. The second game ended 7-4 them. Then, this week we played them again, and they were up 5-1 and we came back and scored three goals and made the game 5-4. I scored one of those goals on a breakaway. It was great.

@Bearer of all agonies crazy story above! Sounds like a lot of fun.

I've never played ice hockey, but I play in a novice, beer league roller hockey team with folks from work. I've never had more fun.
