Backyard Hockey Rink Timelapse Video
Talk about your labours of love. The Devil said she wanted me to build a rink in our backyard this Winter and I just couldn’t do be brought to building a 15’x15’ sheet of ice which would last for three months tops for a 15 and soon-to-be 18 year old who would go from end to end in a stride and a half……but now in looking at this, I feel a twinge of shame.

We Canadians Still Luvs Us Some Hockey
Times may change, but hockey is our constant.
“Hockey still quickens our collective pulse. It teaches us not to be afraid to go into the corners, and to take our lumps, because we always get up and we shake hands after the games because that is what Canadian hockey players — what Canadians — do.”
I’ve almost accidentally eaten a puck a few times, but to date have not considered adding one to my diet. I think it would be a little rubbery, like overcooked squid.
And glowing pucks were a stupid idea no matter how ya sliced them…just sayin.
