Ever get seized up by painful leg cramps while out on the ice?
This happened to me last night when I snagged a loose puck and immediately collided with an opposing player. I went skate-first into his legs, causing me to pitch forward. The impact somehow jarred my legs and the shock caused BOTH my calf muscles to seize up with painful cramps. I tried to get up but flopped back down on the ice as if I'd been shot, and curled over in pain for before the spasms died down a bit. Guys on the bench thought I had a serious injury.
Anyway, some of the post-game suggestions to me: concentrate on pre-game stretching exercises, eating a banana, taking in more fluids, gatorade...
