I love playing hockey. My dad signed me up and encouraged me to play when I was a kid. I remember Saturday mornings going down to the Espanola Arena to play, doing my best and dreaming of the big leagues.
Well now that dream is back. I can see me now, the oldest player in the NHL. People flocking for my autograph. Making millions in salary and endorsements... Ok ok so I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
But I am learning lots of new skills and having lots of fun volunteering with the hockey programs at Ecole Airdrie Middle School and George Mac High School.
I did a little bit last year, starting when Savannah was in the hockey program. This year, because the Plainsmen Arena was under renos both the Middle and the High Schools needed to be bused to the Twin Arenas. I got the job of driving them and brought my equipment along just in case. Both teachers let me join them and I've been lucky enough to be able to continue on after the busing was no longer needed.
Watch for my name in the upcoming NHL draft, you'll be able to tell your friends that you know me when you see me in The Game :)
