Happy Hockey Day in Canada

What a great day to celebrate a real Canadian joy!

When I think about hockey, the images that spring to mind are:

• Sandy and Tom playing all day on the farm pond with the Willms boys
• Trying to wrestle the TV away from Hockey Night in Canada (to watch Carol Burnett)
• Findlay having us all try out for driveway hockey at the farm
• Jude and Frank neighbourhood street hockey game on New Year's Eve at their old house (my curse was extreme competitive spirit ... and zero skills, argh!)
• Joining in on a entire city's screams for the Kitchener Rangers at their local game

It's such a cool (yeah, I know) legacy for a country. To remember that in 1972, whole schools of children watched the Canada-Soviet series and screamed for Paul Henderson's winning goal - now that's a nation of puck-heads!

So whether you are lacing up yourself today or have a puckhead that you love, have a great Hockey Day!!
