It seems like it's over before it even got started, but my season didn't start until almost half way through because of my injury. I would gripe about that fact but I'm thrilled that I got to play at least a half a season. I look forward to next season when I won't have to wear my knee brace, it's kind of cumbersome, but again, I'm not going to complain.
Making the season seem even shorter is the fact that the Monkeys elected not to play in the end of season tournament. We've been having trouble getting more than ten skaters to a game for various reasons including our player that is still recovering from brain surgery.
Three years ago, my team went undefeated, except for the final championship game. Two years ago, the league moved us up a division and we didn't win a single game in the new division. Last year, we were able to eek out a couple wins, and this year we broke almost even. So we are definitely still growing and improving as a team, and that's the exciting part. In fact, we ended this season playing an out-of-division game with a team that's leading the division above us, and we won 3-1. We thought we were going to get beat pretty bad but we were able to get 15 skaters on the bench knowing that it was the last game of the season, and we skated our best. We did a lot of things that Coach Lance has been trying to get into our thick skulls over the years and things really started to click.
Too bad the season is over, but let the spring tournament season begin. Goodbye Monkeys, bring on da Hos.
