I reintroduced myself to my skates this weekend.
On Saturday I participated in a scrimmage game between two Junior hockey teams at a rink in Union, New Jersey. This was the first time I’d been on the ice since I officiated at the Chicago Showcase back in April. I wouldn’t normally take three months off from skating, but the move to Newtown, PA was a lot more complicated than I expected.
I would have liked to stay out on the ice for the entire game, but the purpose of this scrimmage was to get a lot of players and a lot of hockey officials on the ice for evaluation purposes. I’m looking forward to getting out on the ice again, and hopefully I’ll be able to do that in a game in a pre-season tournament during this coming weekend.
