hockey,my love of the game...

you may believe that the NHL is over for the season,but the truth is hockey goes 24/7/365... the games may be over,and that is true,but honestly,there are places that players can go,and still play hockey... the great players may take off a couple weeks off,but they get "the itch" to play again,because the off-season is rather short for the great players,because training camps,start in late August,or early September... i would watch kids play ball hockey in the street,or even players train and skate around on a sheet of ice any day of the week,because i simply love the beautiful game of hockey,that is very simple:kids playing on a sheet of ice,or any surface,shooting the puck at an empty net,when training for accuracy,and i honestly could watch them do that for hours,because that is the true beautiful game of hockey,period... that taught me to love the beautiful game of hockey,not just watching NHL hockey... that is the top of the heap,in professional hockey,but that is not everything the game is...
