So I joined a roller hockey team for a house league-brother in law is running the team. I was hesistant, but joined anyway. First organized hockey in a while...due to having a family. The first game was last night, I filled in for their usual goalie.

I felt like I was in Slapshot. And no the good way. lol it's a house rec league, 4 on 4, and he's handing out lines, who's playing forward, d, etc.

It's a rec house league. Most guys can skate ok. Only one can skate backwards.
And I'm 39, the rest are in their 20s.

Is it bad when your own players fight each other in the 3rd period?? Even the refs stayed away shaking their heads. It stopped when I bellowed at them and basically scolded them like children. It's a rec league, not the NHL.

We lost 10-0. I only played 2 periods in goal. 23 saves on 27 shots, most high quality, tips, deflections.
Other goalie was 0 saves on 6 shots.

Can't wait until next game. I'm going to be on D-time to pull out my Chelios impersonation.

yank my tail if anyone has a comment or question.

Should i wear my tail while playing and mess with the other team's mind?? or save that for the last game? lol
