The era of the Moose has begun... badly.

Well, the Moose opened our collective hockey life with a game against the Good Sports. The same guys that dominated a mixed B-C league, including regularly beating A league players, is back as a C league team. (Yeah, right... C league team)

The Moose stood no chance in hell. We had 3 on the bench, they had 10, we have never played together, they were the first team to open the rink, about 7-8 years ago. We just got smoked. Final was 11-4. If you took out my mistakes, it was 8-4. One of our 4 was when a shot by our defenseman went off the end boards, off their defenseman's foot, and ricocheted in. It was awful.

There was, however, some good cheer. We have a woman on the team, and she had asked the manager to ask all the guys if it was ok for her to change in with us. One of the guys, a really big fella, replied, "Sure! We're not offended by seeing her boobs if she's not offended by seeing our man boobs!" If there was any doubt about her being there, it was ended when she scored a gorgeous breakaway goal in the second period. I just hope we improve enough to get her to keep playing!

So, it was a rough start for the Moose. Hopefully, things will get better... quick.
