Last night I played in my first rec (beer) league hockey game. I hadn't played in a formal game in probably 15 years, so I was a bit nervous.
I hadn't even met any of my teammates until about 35 minutes before game time. I was pretty much welcomed in pretty quickly. Most of the guys are a few years older than me, but they've been playing together for a few seasons. It's a C2 league, so it's basically a "beginner" league.
I was RW on a line with two other guys. They had both played previously. It was pretty easy to get acclimated. However I learned very quickly I don't have the endurance right now. I was winded after almost every shift, and was dead tired by the end of the game. We ended up winning, 6-2. I didn't factor into any of our goals, but had a few chances.
We play again tomorrow night. Hopefully we'll have just as good a game as last night.
