Playing hockey has taught me a few things in the last few days:
1. I'm really really out of shape. I have no endurance.
2. I really need to work on my puck handling skills.
3. Staying in the right position is tough. You have to pay attention to everything that's going on around you.
4. At least in beer leagues, most players are friendly. I've been knocked down a few times only to get an apology.
5. Communicate!
One of these days I'll get it right. A lot of it will come with time. I need to get more confidence on the ice and earn the respect of my team mates. I went in with the warning that I wasn't the best player out there, but I don't expect anybody to give me a break either. I have to earn every inch of ice out there.
