I'm talking specifically from a league perspective. Be it, pro, houseleague, minor, midget whatever.

How long have you played?
Why do you play?
How good was your best season? game?

You get the general idea, now Discuss.

Let's see.

In the past I played Baseball, Football, and Basketball up until High School. I dropped 'em 'cause I hated the high school teams (which is a shame, 'cause I actually probably could've gone to college on a Baseball scholarship if I'd have kept it up).

Currently:

Hockey - Local adult leagues for both ice and roller hockey (since we don't have ice rinks during summer >_<). Been playing about 7 years.
Position - Goalie & Defenseman (Mainly goalie) As a Defenseman I only have 2 Goals. Tons of assists though. I'm a very defensive defenseman.
Achievements - Record holder for most saves in a season. Most shutouts in a season. Most wins in a season. Most saves in a game. Played for a local All-Star team and did some traveling. Not bad for a small town team in the desert.

Tennis - Been playing Tennis since high school. Mainly doubles. Every once in a while my doubles partner and I will enter local tourneys. We should register with the USTA... We're not great or anything, but it'd be fun to play more tourneys with people our level.

From age 5-13 I played soccer, mostly house league but ya I was a consistent top player in the league.
When I was 12 I started to play as the goalkeeper since my dad was a goalkeeper himself, the sheer thrill and satisfaction that came with denying the striker a goal was just pure awesome. And the unis kicked ass aswell :D


Accomplishments:
-5 goals in one game woot
-3 first place finishes
-1st place finish with shootout win(goalie)
-Gamewinning goal in championship game
-3 clean sheets (it's difficult D:)
-2 on 0 with a teammate, I stole the ball from him and scored XD
-Many amazing saves

Deccomplishments:
-13 goals allowed in one game...it was my defense I swear
-3 breakaway goals allowed in a span of 3 minutes, oh I felt so helpless
-1 goal that went five hole XD
-Goal let in from the halfway mark, guy on the sideline was screaming at me during the play which didn't allow me to concentrate, I was 10, fucker.

I've played hockey now for about 24 years. Currently I play Right Wing for a Men's League team in Toronto, although I have tried my hand at every position over the years. I am actually one of the better players on my current squad. We are ranked 3rd overall in our 30 team league with a 13-4-1 record.

In the past, I found I really enjoyed playing center, but could never really get good enough at faceoffs to be effective in the position. I have played in the same Men's League for nearly 10 years now. I've been traded once, but that was about 8 years ago now. During my time with my current team, The Thrash (don't ask, I didn't name them), we have won 4 Championships.

Despite being over 30 years old now, I'm actually on pace for my best season yet, but we'll see if I can keep up the pace. We're currently only 18 games into the 82 game schedule so who knows. That said, I've definately come out with a good start this year, and I feel great.

Additionally, I'm only 2 points back of the league leading scorer, who coincidentally plays for our biggest Rival. The team that eliminated us from the playoffs last year, en route to their first Championship. Not only have I managed to get my offensive game going great, I've also done a lot of work on my defensive game this year, which seems to be paying off. I've only been on the ice for 19 goals against in 18 games, and currently have a +17 rating (ya ya, most misleading stat in hockey, I know, lol).

This season (so far):
18GP - 16G - 20A - 36PTS

Predicted (on pace for):
82GP - 72G - 85A - 157PTS

Accomplishments:
-> Named 06'-07' PlayOff MVP, with 13G and 24A in 18 Playoff Games., en route to our 4th Championship in 7 years.
-> Named team captain at beginning of 05'-06' season
-> Best Season: 77GP - 53G - 66A - 119PTS +10 (04'-05')
-> Only 1 season outside the top 10 in league scoring.
-> Pulled off the Crosby spin-o-rama move in last night's 3-2 OT win. (I netted the winner, with 2 seconds left in the OT period)
-> When I scored the triple OT winner in Game 6 of the Finals, three or four years ago.
-> Played with Gary Roberts one year in a summer community event.
-> Scored a hattrick in last week's thrilling 4-3 win.
-> Had a 7 point game (4G, 3A) 2 years ago, where I was a +6.
-> Actually the 3rd youngest player on my team. Not by that much though.
-> ** Placeholder for when I catch McClement (the leading scorer in our league) :)

Other:
-> When I played Goal, my best season (short tho, about 10 games) GAA was 3.10 and Save % was .899. I went on to have a record of 5-3-2. Changed to Center the following year. Never played goal in my current Men's League, only when I was younger.
-> When I played Defense, for about 8 games, 10-15 years ago, I allowed like 40 goals in 8 games. Coach and I agreed it wasn't my strong point. I have however worked on the defensive side of the game a lot since then, and I think I play a pretty well rounded game these days. My old coach, whom I still talk to often, agrees.

The Future:
I anticipate having a good 15-20 years of hockey left in me, through various age men's leagues, however when I can no longer participate any longer, I figure I'll coach a team. There is a fuckton of hockey knowledge in the noggin, and I feel it's my duty to share it. :lol:

play softball. our team sucks. defensively I'm the strongest player on the team and normally play outfield because of it. I've made many diving catches to rob guys of hits. on the offensive side, I'm a line drive hitting machine. I'll never hit for power but I'm good for a single and have been known to take an extra base even if I shouldn't be able to based on speed and quick thinking.

I also play frisbee golf quite regularly and have 2 hole in ones.

I used to play rec league soccer, and I was a damn good defenseman. I had to quit, though, since once I got in high school there weren't any leagues around except for clubs (I'm way too poor for that shit, and I don't think I'd qualify for a scholarship) and "Mexican leagues" (I can be honest with myself, I'd get murdered in a league of players that eat, sleep, and breathe soccer).

I could also coach my local ECHL hockey team, apparently, as I possess more knowledge of every area of hockey than the head coach does. It'd be funny if it weren't so damn pathetic.

I practice taekwondo and have a black belt in it. Martial arts do count as sports, BTW.

That'd be awesome. I've thought of coaching kids league baseball/football/hockey etc.

I referee youth league hockey though.

I'm usually assistant coach on whatever baseball team my son ends up on. It's a lot of fun and very rewarding but I can get a little too fired up sometimes during games which is why I won't be a head coach.

I can understand that. I've been known to get a little wound up.

The ECHL isn't kids hockey. It's single A minor league hockey. With adult men. Just sayin'. :|

I'm aware of that, you fool. Do you forget that I live in a desert and no reputable hockey organization will come within 100 miles?
