i had a couple of cool things happen at hockey last night
one of the guys on the other team had his first game back last night in about 3 months after having to get surgery/treatment for cancer. it was sooooo awesome seeing him back on the ice last night. he's such a nice guy. it also felt good stopping him on 4 of his 5 shots. he's an ex-pro and only beat me on one of his breakaways! ha! ha!
there was another cool thing that happened last night too.... two of my guys collided HARD. Nick wears a full cage and I guess in the collision his cage caught him in the chin and split him wide open – he had a river coming from his chin. he went to get changed so he could go to emerg to get sewn up. then Russ from the other team left his bench. I guess Russ’ back was bugging him a little and he saw Nick was split open pretty good (it was hard not to notice) so Russ went to our room and talked to Nick. the two of them left together and went to Russ’ clinic (Russ is an oral surgeon) and Russ stitched Nick up right away so Nick wouldn’t have to wait for hours in emerg. I thought that was pretty cool.
i love that for the most part we have an awesome group of guys playing in our division of men's hockey.
