Ice hockey league just started last week and i was teamed up with reezman and hanif and so on and on... It was such a pleasure to play with reezman as he is highly spirited in ice hockey...
It was our first game together so we havent really communicate well with each other but i still love the spirits that everyone shown in this game..
So, our first game was against Digi Sabers... we had it pretty close fight against them....
Sabers scored during first quarter but we manage to catch up when reezman scored with his slapshot from blue line... pretty nice move i can say...But the sabers scored their winning goal on the last 60 second darn it!... the game was pretty fast for me... like, i need to work my ass off till max just to catch up with the phase... We got penalised for 8 minutes due to some silly issues... Pity the defense because they need to work extra hard during this power play...
Anyways, good kudos for reezman and haniff for the great play they've shown... I'll work harder the next game for VIPERS!
For those hockey fan out there, come and watch our hockey league.. May one day our ice hockey will gain more popularity so that our government will make olympic-sized ice skating rink for us...
And for hockey enthusiast, you can have one free ice hockey training session during friday night at 9.30pm... look for gary or susan,or you can just ask anyone around... They will be happy to help around...
But.... i dont have equipment? :(
Dont worry, the club will provide rental equiptment for you guys to try out (bear with the smells tho).. The next class will cost you RM35 each for one hour session...
And once you fall in love with it, try to look around for used equipment if you really cant afford it... I myself using used equipment.. In the end, which does matter?
Performance OR Appearance?
If you really cant afford the hockey classes, you still got option for it... You can go for public skating and work your EDGE(s) during it, public skating much cheaper but you need to find the right way to learn it e.g: videos,blog, friends...
The most crucial things in skating is edges... This is skater's best assets...
If you can afford some money, go to the Skates Sport (inside the rink) and get some entry level skates (try your luck by asking some discount tho)... The owner kinda kind hearted man.. :)
entry level skates will cost around RM500(girl/junior size) and RM700 (guys/senior size)...
Both hockey and public skating is fun in a different ways... It's a good way to build up your confident and social skills... For those who loves sports, this is the sports that will push you to your limit, itsa fast phased sport which need strong,fast,agile muscles in every part of your body.. It is not as easy as you think.. :)
VIVA ice hockey!
