El Paso Hockey

I can't believe I moved to a city with no rink that is in the middle of the desert. But, i got a good job and am happy with it.
The closest rink to where i live is an hour and fifteen minute drive to El Paso, Texas. The rink is in an old rodeo/equestrian barn. It is not as bad as that sounds, but it doesn't have locker rooms. The team I was put on is actually pretty good. It is nice to play with old guys who pass instead of young guys who think they are Dangle Mcscoresalot and just lose the puck every time. I got passes and I gave passes. It was actually fun hockey.
The ice was a little soft, but what can you expect when you are a slapshot away from the fence that protects us from Mexico.
Anyways, i hope the commute doesn't get to me. They are puting another guy from up here on the same team so that we can commute together. That should be fun.
