aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's a wrap on 2017!

We're officially on break now (Saturday was an open scrimmage) so I actually brought my pads and skates in from the car!

So yeah.  2017.  Let's recap, shall we?

JANUARY

• Stated my goals for the year
• Did a new referee position

FEBRUARY

• Lost my finger whistle in a way that guaranteed I would never try to get it back
• Passed 100 games, between refereeing and NSOing
• One goal down, three to go

MARCH

• Realized a fundamental error with my skates
• Got into a skating thing I didn't get into in 2016

APRIL

• Got my skates to fit
• Figured out hockey stops

MAY

• Reffed my 100th game; two goals down, three to go
• Refereed a game between two D1 teams

JUNE

• Did inside whiteboard
• Refereed three full-length bouts in two different cities in one day

JULY

• Got a new helmet
• Discovered Radar Diamond wheels were discontinued

AUGUST

• Three goals down, one to go

SEPTEMBER

• HR'ed a scrimmage that was Black versus Grey; did not die
• Shared my makeup routine

OCTOBER

• Went with a more subtle helmet decoration
• Was reminded I still have so much to learn

NOVEMBER

• Found a set of MY PRECIOUSSSSSS
• Had what I consider my best tournament yet

So all in all, I am quite happy with my year as an official.  I was 3 for 4 on my year goals, and the fourth goal (apply for certification) wasn't available for me, so I'm calling it 100% ACHIEVED GREAT SUCCESS.

What will 2018 bring?  Hopefully more of the same.
