Knee problems made me give up goaltending in hockey. Yeah, I'm only nineteen, and it's horrible I have a bad injury already, but shit happens I guess. I switched to right wing, and am still a great player (I think). I just play with friends now, and at dropins, but I'm usually one of the best (I think, again .
I also play soccer. Striker/Forward - whatever you want to call it. I went to mexico for a couple of months and really learned how to play the game. Great game down there - people love it, and really show their dedication.
Oddly enough, I had no skills at sports (barring the goaltending in hockey - which I was decent at) until I was 15. Late start, I guess, but now I've picked up to the skill of people my age in relatively little time. Not a bad thing in a way. Better now than never.
