This Rink Was So Cold . . .

. . . you could actually see the fog or vapor or whatever it was rising to the ceiling! I was just glad that I was on the ice the whole time so my feet wouldn’t have a chance to get cold while sitting on the bench waiting for a shift. This is probably the rink with the worst conditions we’ve ever played in, and not just temperature-wise. Some of the actual painted lines on the ice were missing, including most of the crease on one end of the ice!

But who cares about all that, when we got our first win of the season — and on the road, no less! We celebrated afterwards by going to a local tavern where I actually had fried mozzarella sticks and a Coke! Although this game took place on October 14, 2007, I believe I’m paying for eating that now.
