So today is the day...
I pack up my derby gear and head up to Kitchener this evening to play in my first ever away from my league scrimmage. I suppose technically it's not my first because I did scrimmage up in Ancaster as well...but some of them feel like part of my league.
There's 4 of us from NRG that are headed up there tonight...3 of us are on the same team...so that makes me feel a bit better.
I'm really going to miss Sugarbear tonight. I loved during the last season being able to look down the straight away from the pivot line to see him sitting there watching. Made me feel less nervous. That's why I liked spending the mornings of game days with him as well...he would keep me calm and I wouldn't feel all jittery.
And truthfully would much have him in Kitchener tonight then heartbroken over the loss of his parents up North. If wishes were nickels...but anyway...
So...it's a co-ed scrimmage tonight. I've never played against guys before...from what I've seen there's one on each of the teams. One thing I can say is I've already skated at the venue so at least I don't have to wonder too much about what the floor is like.
Also...first game/scrimmage where I will be donning my new name...
What made me sign up for this again??
