Just stepping off the ice from a local session, tearing off the upper half of your gear leaves you in such a relaxed state of mind. Your breath is still heavy, but you're cooling down as you feel a bit of sweat drip off your cheeks. A hard few hours of work put in, the anticipation of a good shower certainly excites you.

A lovely SFW piece done by  redpixie ! I play a lot of hockey as it is, and Etch certainly follows in those footsteps. Nowadays I've been hitting the ice more as a goaltender, but I'd been out as a forward for years and years.
