whaaa happened?

made it up to Belmont last night for my first green practice last night and i had a blast! of course it was made fun by having SecretWeapon on the ice at the same time, and SoopahViv as a coach. i had some folks tell me that i should be skating red this season but i'm very comfortable with my decision to skate in green. i don't really know if i was really a red skater and this season will let me (hopefully) get better at things that need vast improvement: stopping on my left side, crossovers (especially left over right), and backwards skating.

it seems like it will be a fun bunch of folks to play with even if we are stuck with squads instead of teams. with teams, i just like knowing that i can get to know someone's tendencies and not have to adjust to playing with someone new each game, but i guess that's part of learning. so as long as i'm on the ice and not wearing da boot, i'll be happy. :-)
