Roy's bowling season is over, so I get to stay for the full Thursday night practice now, wahoo!
Scrimmage went ok. At one point my left toe stop came off mid-jam. I quickly grabbed it and kept skating, thinking DO NOT STOP WITH YOUR LEFT SKATE DO NOT STOP WITH YOUR LEFT SKATE. (did I mention I do all my stopping with my left skate?) Fortunately the jam ended soon enough and I was okay, although apparently I made a few NSOs nervous.
At another point, the A team was on a power jam, and I was just about to leave the penalty box. Their strategy, of course, was to try and keep me behind their wall, once I got in. I squeaked by on the outside by skating sideways, so my body was parallel to the track boundaries. That got a lot of appreciative comments (including one from the A team coach). So, yay.
I got DVDs of pretty much all the bouts from home season and started watching them (it's slow at work). GOOD LORD I NEED TO SKATE FASTER AND FILL IN HOLES. It's horrible.
There's a bout tomorrow but it's the A team so I'm not playing. Gonna be workin' front end. Maverick is going to be helping out in Merch. Can I just say how awesome my kid is? He adores working in Merch. Everyone comes up to me afterwards and tells me what a big help he is. Makes me proud, that kid of mine. :)
