Well, you are joining the worst team in that league? You might want to change your season goals from "winning the league" to "keeping the goals against under 3 a game" or something that. Have you asked the team if they have a gym that team members workout at? You want to be able to go somewhere for strength training and to work on cardio and stretching. I hope your butterfly save stance is improving.
Can't play in Ireland. We have no ice rink,unless you drive up to northern Ireland which is part of the UK. I have to travel 4 hours each way to play hockey on ice.
