Why Hockey?
What could possibly drive anyone to put on rank damp musty equipment and go out in freezing cold or in humid sweltering heat, to play a stupid game of ice or roller hockey? A thought like this has often entered my wife�s mind, I am almost certain!

Who needs soccer moms?
Permanently attached to nearly every wrist is a Styrofoam cup full of industrial strength rink coffee, which tastes like garbage, but does warm the tender fingers that have been shredded tying the extra tight knots in the laces of their disgustingly wide awake and bright-eyed young charges eager to sprint onto the ice for that very special first lap around the rink after the Zamboni clears the sheet of ice...
