So I am playing men's league last night. With my boy playing C and me RW.(If you don't know from previous threads, he played U18AAA, played a bit of Jr A, and a pretty good player.)
Since I lost the 50lbs this spring, my footspeed is good, my hands have always been pretty good.
Playing a team we have played in other years, and generally beat, so they get pretty salty when we play them. Last couple times they have been bringing out at least one young high level player. Last week vs another team, https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/325973/jake-lee for a men's div 11 game. Last night it was an 18 year old that played U18AAA last year.
They have a couple other decent players, but nobody crazy and we just seem to have their number. Was 3-3 going into the 3rd and I had our 3rd goal. Since my boy and I are in really good shape, we can generally skate teams into the ice in most 3rds.
We get a couple to go up 5-3, I score to make it 6-3, we get another to 7-3.
They get a late PP, and my boy and I are on the PK. On a clear it goes to the blueline and the dman fumbles, and although late in the PK, I poke it and start on the breakaway. In my head, I am probably caught from behind, but still going to go. I end up not feeling a stick and go shelf for the hat trick, on the PK, and tired, and I do a small double fist pump....nothing crazy.
Their captain starts chirping me about the celly on the 8-3 goal. After the game I try to go explain that at 52, you don't get many hattricks but he blows me off. On the way off the ice he continues to chirp me. I uncharacteristically start chirping back hard, and tell him to STFU, and tell him to bring more (Meaning young guys), and that I am going to score more next time. "Whoooo!!!!". I am so embarrassed.
