Happy hockey is back

I DO appreciate the level of skill and commitment it takes to be great at it.

I DO love Canada’s national game.

I DO appreciate the level of skill and commitment it takes to be great at it.

I DO love to sit with my family and friends to hear the howls, cursing and yelling just like when I was a kid in my own house (back when hockey was truly amazing).

I DON’T like that it has become all about the cash.

I DON’T like being held hostage for what those that have lots find important enough to take so much away from the rest of us.

I WON’T stop remembering when hockey was about teamwork, skill, respect, dignity, fights (back when it wasn’t a bad thing), and just the darn love of the game.

I will be watching hockey this year, but not because you went on strike for the cash on either side, but because... I AM CANADIAN!

Bring it on!
