Weekend 1 - Ellenton, FL
Strangely the season starts off with a 2 game weekend. Normally, we do 2 games on Sat., and two on Sun. The SCRHA is one cracked out mutha.
Our first game was a pleasant surprise. North Florida, our opponent, is apparently in their inaugural year. Uh oh. It took me 2 minutes and 13 seconds for me to get my roll on. Shorthanded, i stripped some "Osprey" of the puck and went in on a breakaway. No dekes, just top right corner. Chris Falce, a fine young man and fellow teammate, managed to get an assist on that play while sitting on the bench. I aspire to be as talented as that someday. What a gamer that kid is.
Speaking of gamers, Will Heinz(-Kerry) decides to do a spin-o-rama on a breakaway when it's 4-1 in the first period. William sure knows how to party.
Overall this game was never close. We had a solid game as a team, and Alex Hartman and Pringle (Josh Hingle) had some solid, 2-goal performances. Miami wins 12-4.
Getting grub was hard. We wanted to go to Chilis badly, but got bad directions from some oldass vaginas at our hotel. "Just go down 301 for ten minutes and it should be on your left". If only life were that easy. Don't bother mentioning the Tamiami Trail we were supposed to get onto. Senility is a cost this hockey team was unwilling to tolerate after such a wonderful blowout of a game. With some help from normal, healthy people, we got to Chilis, and watched the UM-Clemson disaster at the bar. George ordered the most boring thing on the menu, and ATE EVERYONE ELSE'S FOOD.
Our hotel was the Guesthouse Inn. Decent, i guess. I was in a room with Jake Flader, Lewis, and William Heinz-Kerry. After dinner we sure wanted to get into the hot tub. However, aside from being yellow and half empty, the temperature was somewhere in the 60s. Pool was not desirable. I pissed in it anyway. From the fucking balcony. I rule.
Flader decided it would be clutch to get us chocolate shakes from Checkers. Xtra large style. George was out like a shot and the rest of us were giddy as schoolchildren. Flader's credit card didn't clear, so we dared him to drop a heater in the pool. He didn't pull through. The card did, but come on, Jake!
The next game was a tough 7AM start time, but we more than made up for it by proper-fucking Georgia State into submission. Being the special teams stalwart, I notched a power play goal this time, off of a great give-and-go with the First Lady that could have been, Will. Will decided that passing it was a huge mistake so he decides to score 3 goals in one shift (3:49, 4:18, 4:24) in the 3rd period. Alex notifies him that he just notched a Jewish Hat Trick. Smooth, Alex.
Final score: 11-2 Miami.
We realize via the SCRHA team page that we are ranked #15 in the nation in Division II. How sweet and insignificant at the same time. Good weekend though. Definately a welcome change from last year, as we amassed 5 wins in total.
My Offensive Output: 2G 4A (2-4-6)
SCRHA DII Scoring rank: 3rd
Overall UM Record: 2-0
