CONFLICTED ON SUNDAY


My Aunt Bonnie reminded me that Sunday Canada is playing the USA in Hockey. My Unclke Earl Bonnie's husband and my Mom (both passed away) were raised in Canada where hockey is King. We were raised on hockey and it is going to be hard to figure out who to root for. My husband and I billeted 18 different young boys years ago from Canada who played here in Spokane for the Chiefs. Today my Grandkids are playing hockey. I guess I will have to root for both. It is going to be an exciting game for sure!
By the way this photo is of a woman hockey player and I am speaking of the men's team though my Granddaughter hopes to play women's hockey one day when she is older.

I can't tell you how many hockey games I went to supporting my brother when he was younger. He went from pups to peewee's all the way to being carded for the Vancouver Canuck's. He chose to only play amateur hockey. So obviously I'm supporting Canada in their hope to win Gold!

May your granddaughter be able to one day play on an Olympic team.

I think being in your lucky position, today's hockey game is a win/win! No matter who wins the game, you can feel happy about it!

And the winner is Canada! Hey but wasn't it close and a great game??? I am happy for Canada-they were great hosts and hockey is in their blood whether they want it to be or not-I wish I had money for all of those games I either listened to or watched in my lifetime....
