Red Wings Skate


Red Wings Skate

Well the Holidays are settling in... Hannah's Red Wings won their final game of the 2008 year in fine fashion (7-2) and had a post party at Boston's Pizza. Hannah asked if she could have some of the girls over to play hockey on Monday afternoon...

Sure, why not.

So 5 of them spent 3 hours out on the rink after Dad spent 2 hours shovelling the 2.5' of snow off of it. Things would have been MUCH worse, if it wasn't for the fact that I figured out that the fan belt slipped off inside the snowblower...

The girls had great fun... and so did I. I ended up playing goal for them for the first hour... just can't keep up to those 10yr old legs anymore!

They did do quite a number on the ice though - it's going to need some patching and repair work once the snow stops falling her...

Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS folks! Hope everyone has a festive and safe season, and may your rink by solid and smooth in 09!

The ice does look like they did a number on it - 3 hours will do that. How are the new side boards working for you?

Lots of warm temps and some rain here the last couple of days, but that's nature's way of hitting the reset button for me. Some rough patches are melting down nicely but it's still a nice solid block of ice.

Merry Christmas to you guys as well. Enjoy the rink and each other. Happy Skating.
