Hockey
Tonight, Saturday, September 23rd, at 11.15pm Eastern time, my hockey season starts.

I have not skated since April 15th, the first time I have skipped summer hockey in eight years.

My legs will be slow, my shot will be weak, my back will be sore, my knees will ache and my lungs will burn.

My heart will burst with joy.

Now, give me that puck.
