Once again I am managing the Renegades Hockey Team and playing full time. The team is signed up for the summer season in the Alberta Mens Hockey League. The name is a little deceiving, and dates back over 40 years to when the league was founded. There are women playing in the league, including two on my team.
We are now six games in to the sixteen game season, and not doing all that well. Divisional realignment took place after the first four games and we find ourselves now more equally matched. A couple of the teams that we played early on were dominant, and have been moved up to higher divisions.
Last night we played a team called the Ice Wolves at the Terwillegar Recreation Center. Sadly these guys are not very competitive and really should be playing in a lower division. But, we are in the lowest division, and there is no where the can be moved. We defeated them by a score of 7-0, and held them to just eight shots on goal. Our record stands at 2 wins and 4 losses but hopefully we can start to improve on that as we settle into the routine of the season, and the new divisional placement.
At 61 years old I am the oldest player on the Renegades by at least a decade, and one of, if not the oldest player in the league. But, I still have fun and will keep doing it as long as I can hold out.
