#heavily trying to romanticise this because winter sucks and I need something to look forward to

First time back on the ice this Friday after dislocating my shoulder. I was so nervous but it was almost as if I'd never stopped by the time the second drill rolled around. I am a lot more cautious, I'm not going in full pelt towards the corners or going in for 1 on 1 battles. And there was one moment where past me would have dived arms first to block a shot but I had some subconscious mental hesitation, so I went feet first instead haha. I'm very glad I waited until this side of summer to go back on the ice.

But yeah, I am thoroughly looking forward to this season. With going to the gym over summer, I feel my fitness has definitely improved but I have to do some arm strength exercises though because taking shots was such hard work. The team has a new logo and kit as well, and I'm also attempting to be team manager so we'll see how this goes. Might get myself some Jamaican bun or brioche to have as a little treat once I finish training super late, that would be nice.
