I know this is late, but did anyone watch game 6? The cameras panned out and showed the fans in the arena. It looked like EVERYONE had a Flames jersey on, all you saw was RED with a few white jerse...
Yeah almost all canadiens are hard core hockey peeps.lol It's part of their culture hockey has always been a big thing there, I wish people were more into hockey around here.
How DID that happen? What made you strap on skates one day?
I think it's awesome, and you bet your bottom dollar I'm slapping skates of some sort on my little girl...if I have one.
my dad never had boys (5 girls) so he'd play sports with us and take my sisters and i to sporting events. I just fell in luv with hockey. I had always wanted to play but never really had the time nor would my friends play. Besides the gear is SO expensive. Anyway, i got a job with Mission Hockey and they hooked me up with my gear threw me on a team and taught me how to play with the boys. once i was comfortable on rollers then they moved me to ice.
You started on rollers first? I learned the opposite.
really? yeah the guys advised ice would flow if i learned on rollers. i already knew how to ice skate, but i think since rollers a bit moer challenging it was fitting.
Rollerblades weren't popular when I was learning how to play hockey. And then they were expensive. I had ice skates and the pond froze in the winter so it was easy to go play for nothing. Eventually I got the roller blades but those were used more for free style skating then hockey.
i'm jealous! i would love to have winters like that here (or even a 'winter' for that matter) to play ice hockey in the open air
Well ponds kind of suck though cause you don't get smooth ice like you will on a rink. But it's definetly a fun experiance.
haha the old 3 wheelers LOL
