I don’t remember the last time I updated.. I think I was whining about my skills not being up to par with my house team. I made that post after my first week on my team. I went from being fresh meat to being on team black, and I whined that I wasn’t as good as them.

DUH!!!

Some of these girls I’m skating with have been trained by pros and have 4-5 years experience under their belt. I’m still nowhere near being where I want to be, but I think I have since learned to accept that, and understand that it will come. I am starting to pick up some strategy that I’ve never used before and I feel that since team A picked me, I owe it to them to try my best.

My leagues scrim nights have changed. It used to be team A against the B team but now we’ve been mixing up the teams so it’s more even. Last scrimmage.. was amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as exhausted or bruised after a scrimmage OR a bout. I think I forgot how hard it is to skate against some of the girls from my team. I think it was harder than any bout because we know what each girls favourite position is and what their weaknesses are, and we were all trying to use this information to our advantage. It was amazing. We didn’t keep score, but I really felt like it would have been a really close scrim. It was awesome. Very challenging, but I liked it.

This upcoming Friday some of our leagues rookies are headed to Vancouver for rookie rEvolution, and I am super stoked about it!!!
