My first intramural game on a men’s hockey team

Published by

There are four men’s hockey teams here at UTSC: Tri-Campus (very competitive contact hockey) B-Team (very competitive non-contact hockey) C-Team (competitive non-contact hockey) R-Team (competitive non-contact hockey) As mentioned in my last post (Tryout hangover), I made the B-team! YAY! I was so proud of myself to be able to compete and keep up with the men’s team, that I had a constant smile on my face for at least two days. Growing up with brothers and playing competitive hockey all my life, I’ve never been the “puck bunny” type. I’d rather strap on the skates and compete with the guys, rather than drool over their missing teeth and wild helmet hair in the stands.

I’m only taking three courses this semester, so I do have a bit more time to dedicate to athletics. The teams I tried out for were girls soccer, hockey, flag football, and boys hockey (yeah, I’m surprised too). Soccer tryout I’ve been on the girls soccer team for the past three years, so I felt extremely comfortable being at tryouts and already knowing the coaches and past teammates. I was surprised to learn there will not be a girls B team this semester (usually there’s an A and B team), and I can tell it bothered a few players. One girl …

If you and I are going to get to know each other, you should probably know that I’m in love with Rick Genest. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have him at all attractive. I’d also be lying if I said I didn’t have a poster of him in my room. XO Jessica
