Why bother with lunch when you can play hockey!

Today I spent an hour chasing some young speed demons up and down the ice in a scrimmage. I didn't get to play the puck much, but had fun trying to get in the way as the hotshots were zipping toward the net. I'm always amazed at how some of these youngsters can move - they can change directions on a dime, and pass the puck to themselves around obstacles like me. 

One little fellow in green (about 10 years old) was fearless - challenging the hottest of the hot shots every chance he got. He actually got the puck away from him once or twice. Even our favorite "geezer", AKA the "big blue meanie" (as dubbed by the little goalie girl in the yellow jersey) got knocked off is feet more than once.

It is good to play with the super-fast guys - it helps me play better on Sunday nights with the girls. I'm gaining confidence and having lots and lots of fun!
