Tonight we went to the arena here in St. Marys to watch the grandson of our best friends (from Goulais River) play hockey. He is 13 and it was so fun to see him out there skating and body checking. At this age they are good skaters and handle the puck pretty good. The game was exciting to watch. They were playing against a team that is one level higher than them. It is always good to have these games to help you get better. Last year Rene's team won a Silver Stick Tournament, which is very important.
Between the 2nd and 3rd period the Zamboni came out on the ice to clear it. The ice gets pretty gouged up during play by the skates. This reminded me of a joke I heard years ago. "How did the Newfe (not sure how to spell that) get killed while he was fishing? A Zamboni hit him."
