Don't you worry, you will definitely have a great time here! I'm also a student, and I must say, it's pretty hard to manage your time between the two, Pokemon and school-related stuff. Buuut yeah, with the help of the discussions and the things posted here, I am easily updated to the recent news and basically everything. So you wouldn't regret joining this wonderful community! ... With what I said before, there are a lot of things to do around here, so go on and explore them and look for the things that suites your interest, you will be able to meet some new friends along the way as well! If you don't want to get into any trouble here, then don't forget to follow the rules all the time ... I don't play hockey so I don't have anything to share about it, but if I was given a chance to learn, I would absolutely accept the offer! :)
With that, welcome to the forums!
