Thanksgiving Hockey

Every Thanksgiving morning I get together with some friends and play street hockey. It's a lot of fun, especially when Heather plays with us. This year we had a decent turn out.

For the size of court we play on (Emerson Elementary School's parking lot) 3-3 or 4-4 is best. That way everyone gets a part of the action.

This year we had some sweet goals that one of the guys made. It was nice than the orange construction cones we normally use. It's hard to see but there are nets on the goals. They were made out of the netting put around trees to the birds out. Unfortunately, the netting wasn't quite strong enough to keep the ball from breaking through.

We usually play every few weeks throughout the year but haven't this year. You don't realize how out of shape you are until you go for a fast break and run out of breath.
