Hockey in Iksan

In further efforts to ditch my old couch potato ways I felt that Tae Kwon Do wasn't enough, also because I like hanging out with people who speak english, I joined up with a bunch of other foreign teachers every sunday and play road hockey for 2-2 1/2 hours. Reliving the old university days playing in a bar sponsered ball hockey league I guess. But one fear I had was because of my several years as a smoker that I wouldn't be able to cut it playing out of the net...(I played goal in Uni becuz of this fear of running). I'm not sure if it's the TKD or the air or what, but I've found it's not that hard running/jogging for close to two hours, mind you there is some good standing around time.

As of late we've been having good turn-outs with full five on five teams, so we've had to change the venue once or twice since starting up. I consider myself a playmaker, because I'm a good passer, and can only score off garbage rebounds when I'm parked in front of the net. I'm something like 0-15 on breakaways, I get those chances cuz I never fully want to run back and play D, and get a lot of hailmary passes. I've got no moves whatso ever, I'm happy if I can keep the ball on the stick. I've also had a couple of injuries since joining up, as those have seen the gross toe posting, I've also taken the orange ball off the face a couple times, and caught a butt-end or two. But isn't that really what hockey's all about? Good Times!!!
