I played a scrimmage with a 19+ div A team last night.
Talk about skill, they had me moving in net faster than I have in a long time. And man, could they ever shoot the puck. Every one of the guys had a wicked shot, and was able to place it in the corners. I played well, but as you can see my glove hand timing was a bit off.
You know it's a hard shot when it bruises you through the equipment.
The funny thing is, I don't bruise easily at all.
