I used to be as competitive as any in my younger years, but I havent been in any league or competitive game for a few years now. I am not sure how that happened. I am not sure I miss it.
At some point around 30-33, stuff started to hurt after those games. In 2007 I dislocated my shoulder diving for a ball in our company volleyball team, playoffs on the line. Beer league quality of course... It kinda sucks the fun out of that stuff, when you tough it out through the night and need help to get out of bed, getting dressed, pain meds, etc.
Especially, since now I can't throw a ball worth a damn because of it and I used to have a darn good throwing arm.
That's a long way of saying, I don't miss it.
I haven't played a competitive hockey game since 1999. I can't saw I miss that either. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE hockey, but I'd rather play with the neighbor kids on the street and pond.
