Minor Hockey Moments

The play's the thing

It's a two-game road trip this weekend as we're up the 401 to Woodstock late tonight (game time 8:45!) and travel Highway 7 on Sunday to Stratford, home of the famous Shakespeare Festival and the awesome Allman Arena, where the spirit of Howie Morenz may or may not still dwell.
Our low-flying Hawks desperately need a pair of wins having bumped along in a week filled with being outmatched, outplayed, outlucked (I'll invent words as needed) and thwarted by no-show referees.
Amid it all, we're fitting in a university open house as plans for life beyond minor hockey begin to take shape.
A new book has landed on my review desk that's perfect for the shape we're in. But I'm not the one who should be reading Play Better Hockey by Ron Davidson. After all, I have the easy job of sitting in the stands.
