And I started as a roller hockey goalie, but it doesn't... You can't compare the two things.
They didn't even wear fucking helmets back then.
yeah it's crazy they just played with our helmets a puck hits you in the mug on tuesday you're done yeah you got to play again next week my first ever uh my first ever tryout for ice hockey in high school was i we it was hard to play hockey back then like there wasn't a lot of like it was expensive and there wasn't a lot of rinks we drove like two hours up to like
Like Bear Mountain or some crap like three hours of my family my dad my stepmom They had to wait in the stands because they can't drop you off and go home because it's you just drove three hours So they're watching these tryouts and I was my first time I ever put ice skates on in my life I had played roller hockey already, but I never put on ice skates in my life So it's kind of like you were saying like just trying to play like left-handed or whatever I was like, oh, maybe it'll transfer, you know, yeah put on these ice skates and it did it I was really bad but um
Someone took a slap shot, and it got deflected into the stands.
So whatever, I didn't think anything of that.
At the end of the tryouts, I went back, got my bag, walked back out, and my stepmom was out there.
The ambulance was there.
She bleeding black and blue, stitches, everything.
The puck hit her right in the face.
She was already black and blue.
