So instead of Sunday, you get a happy Monday post.
Chris grew up playing ice hockey. I think his Dad put him on the ice at 5 years old and he has played ever since. He was asked to fly back East to try out for some college teams, but in his senior year, he injured his back and that was the end of his potential college ice hockey career.
He has remained friends with many of his teammates. When you are a young guy, travelling around the country and Canada, you become a family with those guys and I've heard many, many stories (some I didn't need to hear) about their road trips.
This Sunday they played in their first alumni game, in honor of one of the Dad's (Wayne) who was a big part of their organization. It was wonderful to see them all together and hear more stories and watch the parents come together to watch their boys play together again.
Here they are taking a picture before the game started, with a jersey dedicated to Wayne, that hangs in the rink.
Here is Chris (on the left) with his two "brothers" Mike (Wayne's son) and Todd.
It was definitely a Happy Sunday and something these guys will remember for a long time to come.
