I Know I Stopped the Puck . . .
. . . But it Got Lost Somewhere in My Pads.
So One of My Teammates Helped Me Look in My Pads and My Pants!
It Was in My Left Pad. “Here you go, Ref!”

This was my first game as a substitute goalie this season, on October 27, 2007. I was playing for the Vixens, who we played the week before, and for whom I subbed occasionally last season. I know I mentioned this when the Tigers played U of C — we (the Vixens) were the home team even though we wore dark jerseys because the Maroons only have one set of jerseys. This may have confused the scorekeeper because s/he displayed the goals under the “Home” team when they should have been under “Guest.”
Although we lost, it was a fun game — and challenging. U of C had a different goaltender this game than when the Tigers played them, and I happened to know her. She complimented me on my performance and noticed my improvement since the Spring Mixer, so that was pretty cool. Even some of my own teammates who I was on a team with in the Mixer noticed, too!

OMG – those jerseys look just like my team’s jerseys! too bad this one didn’t go your way, but it still sounds like a pretty fun game.
Cool! Being a sub that isn’t officially double rostered, though, I only wear my plain black jersey.
