Well, it was our second home game today, third game of the season. And boy was it tough! We had two lines today – so that’s always hard – but we were up against a team today that really don’t like to lose.
We ultimately lost 9-2 – but it was a well fought game – literally! We lost one of our girls in the first period to a fight – when the opposition elbowed her and someone came in to follow from behind – so our girl kind of let rip! Suffice it to say, a game ban for both players. In the third period again, the opposition decided to strike out for one of our girls, but we weren’t having it. So again, another game ban ! Who said women’s hockey was boring eh! Our team plays by the rules – but it seems that alot of the other teams that we get to play – don’t.
Well, we played a fantastic game. Kept them on their toes. Our new goalie got a turn on the ice today too which was cool. She got to see some action & incorporated a really good save too.
I think our spectators today got alot more than they bargained for! Our next game is in a couple of weeks against a london team – so that could be a harsh game too – but we’ll be ready for them.
I managed to twist my already uncomfortable ankle – goodness knows how – I was after the puck – managed to stop it which was good. Had a few tackles, and managed to slow down some of the opposition players – or make them lose the puck 
Well, I’m going to have to rest my poor old ankle now and hope it’s up to scratch in time for the next game!
Sorry I’ve not written too much tonight – very tired and need to rest!
Thanks for the mention pauline we as a team are young but we rock TOTALLY !!! I think the Amazons are going to be a team that goes from strength to strength, the sky is the limit for us as a team. Go Amazons yayyyyyyyyyy….
