Fans of The Fall

So Coach Urkin's agenda worked in our favor tonight: we practiced doing different kinds of falls. You'd be surprised at how much work skating across the floor back and forth and falling on one knee, two knees, sliding on your bum and falling on all fours is.

Crossing-over and skating in a pack is getting easier. What makes me kind of nervous is that, save for the falling exercise, I haven't really fallen yet on the rink. During drills on the carpet where we have to balance on one leg I fall over head-first like it's my job. Knock on wood I guess.
