I grew up in northern Michigan where we skied and nobody played hockey. When I was about 12 my dad and step-mom sent me a pair of hockey gloves for Christmas. When I opened the present I had absolutely no idea what they were for, I thought they were some kind of new padded ski gloves.......LOL!
What is "hockey"??
--- Wings from GA...
*******
Even our local "AA" NHL franchise....
(I think they are called the Atlanta Thrashers...)
....have yet to instruct us poor, deprived, warm-climate dwellers on the meaning and answer to such a basics-of-life question....
For the record... it's 21 degrees --- wind chill 9...
In the SOUTHERN suburbs...
But alas...
We're on drought-based water restrictions....
(No rink in the yard!)
More coffee for the old guy please...
A peaceful Lord's Day to all...
Probably the reason that I still have all my front teeth is that we moved from Minnesota to Colorado when I was eight years old and nobody played hockey. There were hardly any places to even skate.
The closest we came was when I was in college and we would play broom ball (or "broom brawl" as we called it). Played on ice, but without skates and using sawed off brooms and and ball.
My son played School hockey in a pair of ‘Old School’ skates I bought on line from Hockey monkey. He used them for 4 years until he wore them out and ‘took over’ my ‘Mission’ skates. (Son, have you seen my skates? Sure Dad they are in my bag, I’ve been using them all season!)
Talk about name brands like CCM and the make great skates, but off brands are pretty good as well.

I missed hockey growing up. It wasn’t until I moved to PA and met this pretty lass that convinced me that she was the one that I found hockey. Local friend was best man and he took me to a Flyers game in 1976. We were sitting behind the opposition goalie. I did not know what hockey was being raised in the south. Most awesome game! Reggie Leach put a shot between the goalies out side pad and the goal post. Looked to be about 5 inches wide. The place went nuts and I was hooked.
I have not missed a Flyers game in some form of media or other since 1976. Last year was tough but our GM, Holmgren, did a fantastic job in free agency and last night we kicked the stinkin’ Senators to enter a tie for first place. tomorrow night we have the stinkin’ Devils. Big game,Can’t wait. Gotta get those stinkin’ Rangers, too. ROFL and ducking
Thanks for posting. Everytime I’m up in the Cities, I try to remember to find Garage-Logic on the AM dial.
