Goalie Time

This past practice I arrived late because of an appointment, and practice was a bit unusual in that they were doing all sorts of power skating drills. It was interesting, albeit different, and I thought N did a great job out there. Either way, after practice, when I went to help N with his equipment, he pointed out a huge equipment bag and said he was playing goalie this weekend. Great. Goalie equipment is huge, and adds another bag to our burden, not that I’m complaining, of course.

We had managed to avoid playing goalie up until now. We weren’t necessarily averse to the idea (sort of), but there are several players that want to play goalie and ask every weekend if they can play goalie, so why not let them have a chance? N has said that he’d be fine with playing goalie, though it’s not his first choice. Fair enough, but we knew that everyone on the team has a turn, and we had yet to take the plunge. In many ways, this was inevitable, and we had a sense that this week was going to be our time in Eden.

So now we have this massive bag of goalie equipment. On a bright note, N is actually excited about it, and he’s been playing around the house with the goalie pads. This should be interesting.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Adam Klepsteen for the pic.
