On today’s edition of TXHT Jersey Share we look at where it all began for me as an ice hockey player. Frederick Sport & Ice Arena.

Before it was known as Skate Frederick it was Frederick Sport & Ice Arena, and at FSIA is where I learned how to play ice hockey. Just like most kids learning to play, I obviously wasn’t very good. My skills didn’t truly develop until I was older, and too late. *laughs*

I can’t remember what team I played for, besides the red team, but I know that this was definitely my first jersey because my coach at the time wanted to make a point to have our jerseys with our names on them so they would be memorable keepsakes. He was right. *laughs*

Today on TXHT Jersey Share we stick with Skate Frederick and their House League as we look at the last team I played for in Ice Hockey.

So this would unfortunately be the last team I would play for in ice hockey, and the last time I got to play for Bill Barse. The Fall 2004 season would be my last in ice hockey, and I was determined of making the most of it. Surprisingly leading up to this season I had never scored a goal in ice hockey, but in the first game of the season I would shoot one five hole to get my first ever ice hockey goal. It was exciting, and then in the next game I would score my second goal. I wouldn’t score again but I would rack up 18 assists and about 40 penalty minutes.

For this final season I wore the number 10 as the 12 jersey was too small, and there was no 16 jersey. It was a good season. Just wish my last game had a better ending then the one I had. Such a sour way to end it.

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at the jersey that was worn when I won my first and only ice hockey championship.

In the Spring of 2004 after a rockey return to Churchill’s JV team that saw me play two minutes in the JV State Championship Game, I returned to Skate Fredeerick for their Spring House League and played under my long time coach Bill Barse for the SF Blackhawks. For the majority of the season and for the playoffs I played my natural position of left wing and was primarily playing on the fourth line which I was ok with. rarely did I have to go between the pipes as Bill had brought on two other goalies to play, and I only played in net when they weren’t available. However, when Iplayed goalie I wore my Churchill jerseys as my normal SF Blackhawks jersey was too small and would only fit under my forward gear.

Well insert the Championship game and I was preparing to play forward on the fourth line like usual until Bill comes to my dad and I and told me I was playing in goal because the other two goalies wouldn’t be able to come. Well luckily we always kept my goalie gear in the car just in case, and so we had to swap out the gear that I was going to wear that night. Only issue was that I needed to wear my team’s jersey, so Bill actually went and grabbed one of the spare jerseys and gave me what would be the jersey I would wear for my only Ice Hockey Championship (picture lost in my mom’s multitude off messes in the basement). I’ve only worn this jersey once, and luckily once was enough as we won that game 7-5 over the SF Wild.
