I've joined a rec. hockey league. This is the first time I've been involved in organized sport since I was about 9 or 10. Needless to say, when I first started this year, I could hardly stand up. That was before I put my skates on...
Now, I'm out on the community rinks twice a week in addition to my Sunday rec league games.
I'm obsessed. I've always loved watching hockey, but now, all I want to do is play. That is, until I fall on my face or knee or elbow or.....
But I did score my first goal last Sunday. And it was a beauty too. Backhanded, caught my own rebound and backhanded it in. The best part was that I actually meant to do what I did!
So now I've signed up with a team to play at the Exclaim Cup.
The Exclaim Cup is held annually in Toronto and features teams from Canada's music, media and hipster elite.
Naturally I had to be involved.
Apparently it's a lot of fun and I have to say it'll be pretty cool to be playing against the likes of Jim Cuddy and Sam Roberts. Maybe I'll ask if I can open for them, as I'm stripping them of the puck and their dignity...
