Hockey Night in Canada

I put my newly acquired equipment to the test last night. Every Wednesday, the medical students rent out a rink. Yesterday was my very first foray into the world of full equipment arena hockey.

It is very, very, very fast.

And I can't do things like shoot the puck. Or even pass it really.

I'm just skating around where ever I feel like.

The other guys (and one girl!) are very encouraging though. I got lots of advice on how to put on my equipment (a complicated affair), and many encouraging words on the bench.

My friend Dave lent me his St. Louis Blues jersey. I've decided that teams named after musical genres are way cool. Like the Utah Jazz. If I had a sports team, I'd name them the Showtunes.
Or maybe not.
