Hockey Debut

[Gonz]

Well, I made my debut last night in our local old folks league "The Fat Boys". After not having played in well over a year I'm shocked and dismayed at how incredibly out of shape I am. And of course how incredibly sore I am today as well. I need to find a way to mount an ashtray to the top of the net (I'm a goalie) so I can enjoy a cigar or two while the play is at the other end of the ice. It's frustrating when I watch someone wind up, let go with shot, I see the puck coming and feel like I have all the time in the world, yet my glove just doesn't move as fast as it used to as I watch the puck sail by. Hmmm...getting old. Maybe that will get better with time once I get out more often, huh?

It was great to get out! I'm looking forward to this once a week all summer!

So what exactly is a Hocket?

I think it's supposed to be like Hockey, but spelled at 7:30 in the morning after a restless night's sleep.

I hear ya. I played on our company's basketball team this spring against kids just out of college and in their late 20's. I'm 37 and things don't work as well as they used to. Plus my recovery time is about 10x what it used to be. Damn this aging thing.
