Meeting Friends at Open Stick

Being that hockey fanatic that I am, I’ve been going fairly regularly to the adult open stick and I’m starting to see some friends there. KB started showing up because he’s playing in the adult league and wants to get some practice in, and DS is coming, as well. I’d heard he played and was good, but had never seen him play or for that matter, skate. He came to the last OS and he is in fact a good player. Plus, he’s not your quintessential brute hockey player, he’s more of a skilled gentlemanly player. Definite Lady Byng candidate.

Since we’re neighbors, we’re even carpooling to the rink. It makes for a good time, and chatting with hockey players is a great way to learn about equipment and skills, because sometimes I’m too intimidated to ask the big guys for advice for fear of seeming like a big dork.

Then again, it may be too late for that. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Johnny :D for the pic.
