Hmmm. Not bad at all. Reasonable for sure.
When I have more time I am definitely interested in getting involved in some track work. Club racing.
Dan: Yes. I do play hockey have for years. Since 8 yrs old. Played hockey in college on a club team. The University didn't have an "official" school team. Been skating on those double bladed jobs for years. Are you saying they are beginner skates???? I was told all the REAL hockey players use them??? You mean....OH $hit! No wonder everyone laughs when I step out on the ice.
Seriously, I love to play. Can talk hockey all day long. Playing Keeps me young and beautiful. I lke the physical aspect of the game and the speed. I still play in a local A league out of BSA and sometimes Mennen in N.J. in the checking league. Its my passion next to Cobras and well.. you know...
I'm a pretty good defensemen. But will skate the puck down into the offensive zone if theres an open lane. I prefer to pass and take my shot from the blue line when I have the chance. My role model is Scott Stevens as to style. Love standing em' up at the blue line and pushin wingers around and making their life miserable down by the crease. (Kinda like what I do around here) Not to toot my own horn but I can still skate with the young bucks fresh off of the college squads. I may have lost a step on them over the years but thats OK. My defensive partner played Junior Hockey and was scouted by Boston and Calgary. Not taken due to his size. Too small. He's able to help out when I just can't get there in time. He's WAY fast! He saved a few times for sure. Several former AHL players in the league. Mostly former College and H.S players though.
My son now plays for the New Jersey Rockets. Former Nat'l Pewee Champs.
Sorry for the hockey rant.
Now back to the regulary scheduled program.
