1st Place

Our hockey team won again last night making us 5-0-1 on the season putting us in first place for the first time ever. Not bad for a team that finished 4th in the league last year and 8th the year before.
We've really gelled as a team and seem to be digging down and catching a break. Most teams have at least 1 stand-out player and our team is kind of the exception, solid defense and goal tending combined with a hard-nosed offense that might not be flashy, but keeps the pressure on.
It feels great to be in first. It's been a long time since a hockey team I was on could say that. I once played an entire season in Youth hockey without winning a single game. This is definitely better.
To add to the enjoyment, I scored my 5th goal last night. Not bad for a defenseman who specializes in blocking shots.
