Tonight's the wrap party for this season's hockey team. It was my son's major midget year and, unless he decides to taper down with juvenile or decides to coach, marks the end of his minor hockey team involvement.
It's a pot-luck house party, a tip of the hat to frugality after mounting an epic road trip to a tournament near Nashville last January.
Over the years, the team parties we've attended have taken many forms, from cramming into restaurant booths, to renting a bowling alley, using a community hall and trucking barbecues from whomever lived closest to backyard parties and the aforementioned pot luck. Loved them all, but the best was likely reserving a private room at the Mandarin and letting the teens go wild at the buffet.
For the third year season in a row, I've taken the best of our hockey photos from the winter and compiled them as a slide show on a DVD, complete with family-friendly music. I've already put snippets on YouTube and Photobucket (55,000 image views since November!), so much of it won't be a surprise.
But I did sneak something in that'll surprised our 20-something coach, thanks to his mom.
