1-0

Last Sunday we had our first home game of the season. I was excited to start playing and only a little bit nervous. The atmosphere in the gym was great, there were alot of fans there, more than I expected and also they were louder than I expected. They really got into the game. It was a good game with lots of good rallys, it went to 4 sets with the 4th set going to 33-31 points when usually first to 25 wins. We kept going back and forth, point for point for a long time. But in the end we won the battle!! It was an exciting game and definetly fun to play. At the end of the game we lined up at the end line and they announced the Player of the Game and I won it for my team! My prize is a trip to Stockholm on a cruise boat. I am very excited to use my awesome prize! After the game we had dinner altogether which included the womens ice hockey team and the pepole that run the club. They wanted us all to meet and start the season off with a celebration. It was a fun night. Finland is a fun place to play and they really make it an event to go the game. This weekend the womens ice hockey team was playing so since they supported us at our game a few of us went to go watch them play. This season we will have to go work at the games, doing tickets, the music, stats or opening and closing the penalty box. But we just went to watch this time. I am not a huge fan of hockey but I figured Im in Finland so I am obligated to go some games. Our team ended up losing 2-1 in the finally 4 minutes. I couldnt tell you if it was a good game or not because I do not know much about hockey. But it was good to go do something different. After going to the game I am still not a fan of hockey. I was waiting for them to do the flying "V" like in the Mighty Ducks, but it never happened, maybe I will have more luck with that when I go to a mens game! :)
