This morning we headed back to the rink, this time with me wearing a knee brace. Yup, that is right, i said we. Leanne came too.

After a bit of skating (and for Leanne, stopping practice) we started a little three on three game. There was only one Goalie, so it was like half court basketball. I had a great time. Knee held up fine, and the weather was perfect. A crisp, near windless, minus 12.

This was so much fun! I can now officially "kinda" stop...to one side. The game was good. I still have a lot of work to do to polish my stopping skills. Plus I should attempt some backwards skating. But I am happy about the day! I must also mention that I am impressed by the outdoor ice ~ not at all choppy!

sounds kinda fun. I have not skated since I was like 12 and even then I could never sake backwards and stopping.. do they have boards outside?

ya, it is like a regular rink. zamboni, regular boards. instead of glass above the boards it is a chain fence, but when you are playing it feels just like an arena, only a bit colder, and with the occasional sun glare.
