Hockey Night in Airdrie

 Last night we held the winter classic, Hockey Night in Airdrie. The boys got together to play hockey on the pond in Morningside. Tim got a neighbor to let us plug in a huge light that Jim brought so we could see what we were doing (sort of).

The first hour was spent cleaning the ice. Then we threw our sticks on the middle and Rich split up the players. It was a fast, action packed game from the start. Tim, Rob and Josh led the charge with Mark in net. They faced Jim, Isaac, Alex and Rich. The puck was flying, blades were flashing and men were battling it out.
Then the ice starting getting chewed up and the game changed from trying to score a goal to trying to stand up. If only we had a camera we might have qualified for funniest home videos. Isaac and Rob flying through the air, Mark blinded by the light couldn't see the puck, guys lying all around the rink and Jim with his frozen mustache. All in all it was a great match.

Only a few injuries, Rich taking one for the team on the shin and the rest of us with frostbite on the toes. Can't wait for next year!
