Hockey and Gays Hockey fans and players like to pretend that gay people don't exist. In 1993 I bought a pair of rollerblades at Play It Again Sports. I also got all the joint pads and went out 'blading. Then I found the hockey players at a local park. That looked like a lot of fun, so I joined in.
Hockey requires a lot of stamina for skating back and forth, and skill for passing and shooting.
I wans't very good, but I did have fun. There was a boy there who always played in goal. One day I decided, just for the hell of it, to try playing in goal as well. Everyone told me that I was really good and should play in goal more often, so I did. I joined the Wolverines at the Skate 'n' Splash rink in San Jose.
