My Hockey Jerseys

Here are some shots of me with my various hockey jerseys. Note the helmet.

Disappointed

Hmmm....quite a title to a blog. Am I disappointed we won't get to see UNH at the Frozen Four--this pales in comparison. Disappointed I got my butt kicked Friday by a Calculus exam---not even in the same league.

I am hoping that we get to see the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. And more specifically the North Dakota Cheerleaders. Now is when the disappointment starts. I have known this fact all season but have waited until now to talk about it. The cheerleaders no longer skate. You read that right---they no longer have to skate. I loved watching them skate around. Not only were they cheerleaders(hell I did that at UNH for the football team-another story another time) but they were SKATING cheerleaders. I read on their web page, of course I have it bookmarked, that they no longer have to be able to skate to be a hockey cheerleader. I hope The Fighting Sioux make the Frozen Four and even more I hope we are in the Dakota section for the games...

Please feel free to talk about this amongst yourselves and post comments.

Go Cats Go!!!

There are not very many reasons that I would miss playing hockey myself. I play every Friday from 6-7:30. Great time to play, great group I play with. But tonight I had to reluctantly(maybe not) tell my teammates I would not be playing. I am staying home to watch the Wildcats take on the Eagles. This should be a very hard fought game. UNH has beaten BC three times this year. One has to wonder about the odds of the Wildcats being able to put BC away one more time. A win tonight will most likely give UNH a number one seed in the quarterfinals of the NCAAs. And very much deserved this year.
I really like the 'Cats chances tonight. So tonight at 5:00 I will be tuning NESN a.k.a. TV 38 from Boston to watch the Hockey East semifinals. The second game features BU vs UVM. tough one for me to pick. Who do I dislike less???? Kind of like voting for politicians. Guess I would have to pick BU. No matter who wins I hope they are playing against UNH for the championship tomorrow night.

So even though UNH plays BC tonight you can bet I will yell out on more than one occasion "LETS GO BLUE!!!!SCREW BU"

Memory

As I sit here, watching it snow on the first day of Spring, I am doing my calculus homework (quiz tomorrow), listening to Pandora. One of my stations is called "Big Band/Swing". So far the several songs I have heard take me back to Williams Circle and dinnertime. Remember how we used to listen to music most nights while we ate dinner? Well I am recognizing some of the songs as ones we used to hear. It also made me think about how we used to bring Dad's sweatshirt down to him when he got home from work. Off came the jacket and on went the sweatshirt. As I recall he didn't always take his tie off. I also remember his timing of arriving in the driveway as the food hit the table at 5:45.
