yea we've talked about hockey before. I was a miscast defenseman in high school. You were a goalie, right?
Took 10-12 years off after high school to just play basketball since I never got to play bball growing up. Went back to hockey after back surgery #3 and doc told me I could never again run or jump. Been playing ever since, but don't go anywhere near my defensive zone anymore. Turns out I'm a forward, not a defenseman.
Played men's league for about 18 years on more teams than I can count, but I retired from league's 2 years ago and now just play old man pick up hockey 3x per week for exercise. Beats riding the elliptical!
My d partner in high school was Todd Reirdon, current head coach for the Washington Capitals. He wasn't even our best player, we were stacked.
