Later this morning, I'll be heading out to play in the inaugural
U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, being held on Lake Calhoun. Based on the number of former Gophers and other guys who played D1 college puck on
the team rosters (you'll recognize quite a few names), the chances of our squad bringing home the coveted
Golden Shovel are probably not good. But that's not why we play game. It's all about having fun playing the greatest sport in the world (sorry Hugh, cribbage is not a sport). Did I mention that there's a
Summit beer tent as well? It really doesn't get much better.
If you happen to wander down to the tourney and see a team sporting some of the ugliest yellow sweaters in the history of hockey, that's us. I'd tell you to look for the guy with the missing tooth, but that probably wouldn't narrow the field much.
As our beloved governor might say, "Drop the
fu...puck."
