I didn’t play organized
hockey myself…I did play some pond hockey but I have to admit I wasn’t too good
at it…the most fun I had playing hockey was when I was just by myself…we had a
cabin and in the winter my parents and I would go there and I immediately
grabbed a snow shovel and started clearing the snow off part of the lake in
front of our place…no matter how cold it was, I spent the better part of the
day just fooling around with a stick and a puck…using the pier we had as a
goal...in the evening, we’d head into town and get some dinner…most folks
waited on summer to come for fishing and boating…I anxiously awaited winter and
the frozen lake…man, just to have one more day like that would be priceless.
