As long as the opportunity is available, I vow to get back into the men's Hockey League at York by Mid-January or early February.
Playing these first shinny games has been murder on my back because all the pressure is on my lower back. My chest/abdominal muscles have all but disappeared with these freakin' shoulder and wrist problems. Now that I can actually lift weights again without pain, I'm working my ass off to get back.
This time... I'm gonna be leaner, meaner and stronger than the last time I played (2.5 years ago). I'll still need the wrist guard for quite some time, but I've taken hits and let myself slam into the boards and each time got up without pain.
I just need to get the skating and eye-hand coordination back to normal and then I'm ready to go!!
Good god I can't wait!
