For the last 2 months since the Finals began, our house has been a frenzy of Hockey Fanatics from our own mini-finals: Kings (girls) vs Habs (boys) (complete with homemade Stanley Cup);
to Alia's pledge of devotion/obsession to Luongo (Goalie: Vancouver Canucks).
The mini-finals in itself was no small feat due to the limited area available for the "rink" and the very steep grade of our driveway. Many a "puck" (ball) were lost due to gravity and the gutter drain down the road...But, they persevered and went all the way to Game 7! A very exciting and challenging series!!
With their own series concluded, the desire to play did not wane, however the need for a less gravitationally-challenged location was imperative. Two days in a row the girls hiked up to the Big Cul-de-Sac with roller blades slung across their shoulders and hockey gear in tow. Apparently, it is flat enough up there to set up a more even-terrain “hockey rink”.
The first day, the boys went with them, but they bailed the next - too hot. Not to worry though, the girls picked up two nieghbourhood girls along the way and taught them how to play this wacky (sometimes literally) sport called Hockey.
Until next season...
...Go Habs Go!!
