Tonight game started off better than last week, except that we were late because I thought that it was at 8 instead of 7. Getting into the game while it was already in progress, we noticed that we only had 2 girls this game, which meant that they would be spending the whole game playing, except for half time and the 2 one minute breaks we were allowed. Despite that, we played a very good game, even managing to get ahead by a few goals in the first half.
Given we only had 2 girls, they took the defence positions as they are generally less intensive than playing forward. Which wasn’t too fun for me as I always play defence. I decided though that it would be a great chance for me to work on my stamina and forward skills. I usuallyly take some time to get used to playing forward instead of defence, but tonight I got right into it. I stayed up near the goal as much as I could, but still eke back when needed to help out on defence. I even got a pretty good assist, and almost managed to get a goal (took a shot that got blocked, then got the rebound which was also blocked, then got that rebound but sent it in front of the net). Unfortunately my stamina dis not stick with me, and I had very short shifts by the end, and was almost dead by the time the game was finished. In the end weost 8-4, but it was a good game.
