First College Goal

My first college goal as a BYU ice hockey player was an impactful goal.  It was the first goal of the game for the cougars.  We were playing against SR Junior College.  As I recall it was my second shift of the game.  I was in front of the net and my defenseman took a shot from the point.  His shot went wide and the puck ended up behind the goal.  I skated back behind the goal and wrapped the puck around right behind the goalie’s left foot.  I was so happy that I had scored my first goal I was flipping out and did not know how to react.  I was super excited and finally gained my composure before skating past the bench to knock gloves with each one of my teammates.  Because I scored the first goal of the game, I was allowed to start the next game which was a dream of mine.  I started the next game in the arena that the Idaho Steelheads play in.  I was super excited but I got lots of jokes from my teammates because I am the worst player on the team.  All in all I was pretty happy though.
