I guess I meant more the level of play than the intensity, but I know what you mean.
Do you still play?
I knew what you meant. When I play it, I'm ultra competetive and it pisses people off, so we tussle. I only play on the pond now.
I haven't played real competeive since HS, and haven't played on a team since 1998.
When I moved to WI in '99, I was going to play on a competetive team, but they played about 65 games a year. Way too much for me in that point of my life. Really, I burned myself out. Now that i'm back in MN it's still everywhere. I must have been really burned out, because I don't want to play on a real team.
I'm having more fun teaching my son to play.....the right way, not the way I knew how to play.
