Finally! I got back into the gym today after a hiatus for hockey, skiing, travel and just overall lack of motivation. After the hockey tourney in Vegas I was VERY sore in my adductors, glutes and upper quads. It is unreal the difference in playing pick-up versus playing at game intensity. The dehydration and lack of cool-down/stretching probably didn't help either. The great news is that I had no problems with my right adductor muscle.

The next week I was skiing in Whistler for two days. Skiing was great but ended up slightly straining my left adductor. Will the injuries ever end?

The time off has been great for recovering as my shoulder and groin feel excellent now. The only problem is that during that time the diet has been horrible so not a good combination. Anyhow, felt good to get to the gym (besides the feeling like I was going to die at the end). Just did a light workout to get used to things again.
