WillyGrips13 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 For the summer season I played on a team in Advanced in addition to the team I've played on in Intermediate for three seasons now. Was fortunate enough to win the Championship in both divisions... on my birthday no less. Games were back to back. I was tired. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, playing in the advanced division takes all my energy to keep up. Lots of adrenaline. I was out of breath after that game and didn’t regain it until part way through the first period of the second game. Not a surprise that I look dazed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Boiss Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 During the regular season I was the backup goalie for this team, and ended up starting all of the playoff games because the starter couldn't make any. A lot faster than I was used to, it took me a couple games to get acclimated. Such an amazing confidence boost though, knowing I can find success at higher levels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to find that at least to a point, the better the hockey is, the better I play. Things just happen the way they should, guys actually know where their shots are going to go and such.

Things just happen the way they should, guys actually know where their shots are going to go and such. The hockey I usually play is fast/skilled enough that I don't usually end up with that "unpredictable" hockey. Regular, mid-level Canadian rec, guys who played house league growing up but never went anywhere. I can keep a GAA of ~2.0 and a Sv% over .920 on my regular team without much trouble. The Whalers were in the Open Division, so guys who played high-level junior/major junior and the like. Players that are skilled enough, and shoot hard enough, that sometimes... you just get beat. Even if you play out of your mind. But for me, who only started playing net five-ish years ago, it's great to know that I can be a good - not necessarily fantastic - goalie against guys that have been playing that higher level hockey longer than I've even been goaltending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyGrips13 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 We were able to win the title again. This one was as surprising as any. The rest of the league has been improving every season. We had troubles during the season including a rotating roster due to injuries and other availability issues. We had a locker room blowup after an OT loss, but it turned into a turning point. We had a lot of OT games during the season which was key because in both the semifinals and finals, we went to OT In both. In fact at no time in either the semifinals or finals did we lead the game. In the semifinals game, we were down 3-1 and tied it with less than a minute. Then we played five minute OTs 3 on 3 except during penalties. We scored toward the end of the third OT. In the finals game, we would go down one, tie it and repeat that pattern including tying the game with a little more than a minute left. For some reason they decided to do one five minute OT 3 on 3, then go to a five round shootout. We scored one and they scored none. So our season and playoffs were pretty damn epic . The trophy was pulled out of storage as it was used in a previous incarnation of the league at a different now defunct building. It has teams and players from league winners engraved on it. Perhaps, it will be engraved with current league champions moving forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creasecollector Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) First beer league championship for me this past weekend! Won MVP of the Playoffs, too! Definitely a game to remember. I stopped a penalty shot in the 2nd period of the game to preserve our 1-goal lead, along with a save in the last few seconds of the game. We ended up winning 4-3. Feels good man.

seagoal Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) We won our championship last night, beating the first place team in our division 5-3 after beating them 2 rounds ago 4-2. They wooped our asses all season long so it was awesome to get these wins in the playoffs. @SaveByRichter35 this entrance is for you, buddy. We got a sweet trophy plaque with a Kraken puck in it and a legit beer mug...and there is a bar upstairs, how convenient. Epic night of drinking and good times celebrating our 2nd season as a team.

If by "fix their hair" you mean attempt to "reconfigure" sweaty, matted strands to better cover bald(ing) spots - I can relate.
