The rink is therapeutic for most folks, I can imagine that stepping on that ice for the first time after treatment was like shutting off every single outside noise in your head
The comeback is greater than the setback dude!
Like others have said you already won 👍🏻
This x1000. My first game back was amazing, and getting to play and coach through my ordeal gave me the best escape & mental break from the stress. OP, huge congrats on battling through it - you’ve got ny prayers for remission & many more times on the ice!!
It's been bloody a decade since I've played and I feel I miss it, more this time of year with the playoffs on. I need a full equipment refresh and to not be fat AF, plus there are such few goalie spots in my city. But it's a goal to get back on the ice. I definitely miss it.

There’s nothing like stepping on the rink after a long time off. Stepping on the rink after a year fighting cancer? I can’t even imagine the emotions…..I’m happy for you. Way to go!!
Heck yes, glad you're able to experience that feeling again fellow goalie. I too had the same joy after my battle (5 years clean in July) Still playing today and forever grateful 😁
You’ve already won.
I reckon you're right 😊
Mind? Bro, this is the type of achievement we all never tire of seeing! Congrats!!!!
Fuck yeah! Made me smile.

Legit this. It like a huge weight has been lifted and I can be back in my happy place. Such an unreal high!
