Living out dreams, 18 years later.

My entire life I have loved playing sports and have enjoyed the culture that surrounds them. If it looked, smelled, or even had a slight chance of being something athletic and competitive, I wanted to be part of it. From organized sports to invented neighborhood games like Bomb Ball (baseball with a tennis racket and either a tennis ball or racquetball), I wanted nothing more than to be an athlete. If there was any sport I could have traded in all my chips to play, it'd have been ice hockey. Unfortunately, a wall full of Red Wings posters and street hockey gear was the closest I could get. Coulda been, shoulda been, mighta been a superstar, is what I like to think in the back of my head.

Fortunately for me, in the past month a few gracious coworkers looking to get rid of their old stinky gear and a full time job have given me a chance to finally play ice hockey in a competitive environment. It may not be organized hockey but it's fun, I learn something every time I'm out on the ice, and when it's all over, the smiles outweigh the sore body! Here is a great documentary I watched this weekend to amp myself up for my first experience playing hockey on a lake. What a blast it was!! Enjoy the trailer, the full video can be found on the webs!
