GG - do you play hockey?

GG - I was just wondering what was up with your sig - do you play hockey?...and me dising the game...oops, sorry.

Oh no, lol, hockey didn't even exist down here when I was growing up. I have a friend who's lived down here now for about 15yrs, but grew up in Connecticut, and he's a hockey freak. He's got me to go to a couple of games recently. Our local college here, East Carolina U just started a hockey team last year. I'd always heard hockey is alot better in person than on tv, and it's true, in my case anyway. I always hated hockey on tv but I enjoy going to the games, probably alot of it because these are college kids giving it all they got, I probably wouldn't care for pro much. My daughter sure enjoys watching those college boys banging into each other. Anyways I went to the website recently and got a couple of wallpapers and the banner, thought I'd give them a little advertisement for a while :)

Your right, I was at a hockey game and one of the players broke his hockey stick and a piece of it flew up and hit me. You don't get that on TV. :)

I would have rather had a puck, I think getting hit with a puck might have hurt more.

I think it was last year or maybe the year before I remember hearing on the news that a young girl was killed by a hockey puck that hit her in the head at a pro game - tragic.

Oh that's nice GG and too bad for you Bling. I have never been to a hockey game, but my brother took me to a 'Raptors' game once (that's basketball). I didn't have a clue, but I won a fabulous prize... I won a party at the Playdium (sony video game place) - I don't know if they are still around or not. Anyway, I won unlimited play for 12 people, plus a lunch in a private room. I took a bunch of family members and did it for my son's birthday - it was oh so cool and worth about $1,000.00...much better than a puck in the head. (I still don't like basketball though)

At the time I thought it was very cool, I took the broken piece home and showed it to everyone, and of course each time I told the story of how it hit me, the story got better and better.
