 If there was a puddle that froze, there were three kids playing hockey on it. It was not unusual for your youth team to have a 3 a.m. practice because that was the only time available. It was huge. I know what you're talking about, man. When my dad refused to drive me to practice because it was snowing, I carried my sticks and equipment bag and walked into the storm for a mile, trekked to the rink. Mark, hurrah!
