HOCKEY TIME IN OLD WALKERVILLE

HIGH STICKING
ENFORCER

HE SHOOTS!

FROM THE POINT

TIDYING UP THE CREASE

TWO ON ONE
BUZZER

Funny thing this hood. High winds and snow sparked an idea; an e-mail was sent and voila! Three strings of hoodies and friends gathered at the parking lot of Walkerville High School, sticks and shovels in tow. A space was cleared, nets were set up and the game was on. A charged group of twenty, thirty and fortysomethings; a good ratio of men and women played a full afternoon of road hockey. Where else does this happen? This was a mixed group of professionals too. Doctors, educators, PR types, administrators, police...you name it. Everyone had obvious fun plus a good workout. Looks like another "first annual". Where else but Old Walkerville. Thanks for the e-mail John Parent!

I should have bought a house in Walkerville instead of moving downtown. At least there are amenities when I lived there and I could get a few games of football or shinny in instead of wondering what I can do for free living downtown.

Looks like fun! Much better than staying indoors and watching the boob-tube!
