Every Canadian eats, drinks and sleeps Hockey at this time of year. Once the snow shoveling is done, there's nothing better than curling up by the fire and watching a great hockey game. As kids, we all grew up skating on the local ponds and lakes. I did figure skating for a few years and Vince was a hockey player in his waaaay younger days! :) As teens growing up in a relatively small town, the exciting thing to do on the weekend was to head to our local arena and support our first rate hockey team. Those were the days when Ken Holland was a player with the 'Vernon Vikings'. Little did we know then that he would grow up to be the GM of the Detroit Red Wings!
So, it's been an exciting few days while we watched our junior team inch closer to the medal round. These young players play with such energy and for the most part, it's all about the sport and not about hitting the other guy. On Saturday, we were on the edge of our seats as Canada and Russia battled it out with Canada winning in a shoot out. Tonight was exciting too, but not quite as stressful as we beat Sweden with a resounding score of 5-1. That gives Canada the gold medal for the 5th Year in a Row!!!
Way to go Canada! Congratulations!!!
Ok, back to shoveling snow......
