It's been awhile since I have posted pictures of Caden. So today I am taking advantage of a canceled meeting to post some from my iPhone.

Hockey gone but not forgotten
Well I went off and sold my hockey gear. No longer playing so why keep it tucked away in the garage to just take up room? It was fun packing up the gear and thinking about so many fun games and practices. Oh and not to forget all the fun street games behind Good Sam in LG and Friday afternoons behind one of the old campus Netscape buildings.
I saved a picture for keeps sake. My trusty helmet which probably saved my life a few times ;)
I played for about 5 or 6 years in a league at Rollin Ice. It was an official indoor rink with all the flex boards just as you might see at an NHL game. They do hurt a bit if you hit them at the right angle, but just a bit, and that is part of the fun. Our team was formed from a group of coworkers from Bay Networks and which eventually took on people from Nortel and Cisco. As the dot.com busted our team took on more and more players from teams that fell off from no longer having sponsors. Which happened to us too so eventually our team jerseys, which were of a slate blue color, took on this multi-blue-colored jerseys. hahaha
We made it to the playoffs a few times and I don't recall us making it past the first group. Oh well, it was fun fun fun!
I then joined the SAR team which we have mandatory meetings three times a month, aside for call outs, and this conflicted with my hockey nights. So I choose the SAR team and hockey was no more. That was 4 or 5 years ago. Although I miss it, SAR gives me a different perspective in life then what hockey could ever give me.
