The Whites beat the Blacks

Team White finally notched the first win of the hockey season. We battled Team Black on Saturday evening. Though our opponent lost an earlier match 9-0 to Team Red, ours was a close one! It remained scoreless until more than halfway through the second period when we finally netted the first goal of the game. The final score: 3-0 White.

I probably played my best game of the season so far. Despite not being able to receive multiple passes up along the boards cleanly as I was heading into the offensive zone, I was able to create some scoring chances. I got two or three shots on net, made an excellent pass to my centerman who front of the net (a nice save by the opposing goalie prevented me from getting an assist), and was part of a 2-on-none breakaway (my teammate let a rocket fly that was unfortunately wide). I was also pleased that I skated better, and fell much less than in the previous week.

Our next game is against Team Yellow. If we beat them, we'll be in second place in our division only trailing Team Light Blue.
