Last night was the first bout of the season and my debut bout. It was Dead Wreckoning versus the Blackheart Bruisers; I was with Dead Wreckoning. I dont even know where to begin with describing the bout! We sold out all 400 seats a week in advance and sorta snuck some more people in illegally so that we could fill up the rink completely. When we came out of the our locker rooms, the music was blasting and they announced up individually while the crowd was going crazy. The Blackheart Bruisers all wear little plastic blue brass knuckles so one of my teammates got her hands on some real brass knuckles and wore them are around her neck! The refs made her take it off during equipment inspection. Anyway, long story short, we won! We had over 90 points and they only had about 48 points so we really won! It was a good clean bout, no fights, just a couple of major penalties. At the end of the bout, the referees and score keepers named me Player of the Bout! It was so cool! They said it was because I was skating hard the whole game and playing cleanly.
20/20 New Zealand has been videotaping us and they are making a show that will be on this Thursday night. We should have a youtube copy up as soon as it airs so keep an eye out for it if you want to see a little snippet of the bout! It was absolutely amazing! Our next one is on October 27th and I cant hardly wait! Here are some pictures in the locker room. I will put some more up when I get them from my friends.
