Men's Hockey Game: WOW our team was a mess tonight!! Our goalie didn't let anyone know he wasn't going to be there since he had to work. Then I forgot my helmet in Jacob's hockey bag which is easy to do since USA Hockey requires coaches to wear helmets while on the ice. Luckily Jamie was willing to run home and grab my helmet so I borrowed one from the rink supplies until she got back which took a half hour. Since our goalie didn't show up and nobody wanted to dress as goalie we skated with 6 players. Typically, when you play with no goalie you get smoked but we only allowed 2 goals with no goalie and then another teams goalie suited up for us halfway through the second period. As soon as we got the goalie in net we started playing better and I had my own helmet and a mouth guard in and went out and scored a goal quick then we put in another 3 goals after that. The refs were just laughing their asses off because they had never seen a team win without a goalie. It was definitely a fun game and some good exercise.
