Crushed


I play for a team that plays in the Western Ball Hockey League and to start the season we had a ton of players. Our biggest concern for game one was getting more jerseys. But halfway through the season, we had jerseys to spare. It seems we can never get any commitment out of our players and on the final stretch I have to say I was embarrassed by our turnout. I would look to the other bench and see that they had more subs than we had players. So when we finished dead last in the third division of a three division league, we were in fact the only C team not to make the playoffs. In past years, they have made a consolation round called C2. This year, we are it: the only team in C2. So that's it. The Vancouver Crush can claim to be the champions of division C2 and considering our lack of pride, we just may do it.

Wow, I'm shocked, a shortage of players...sounds familiar.
The team can only go up from there...or can it?

Don't let pride get in the way of glory.
