Soon my child, soon.
Here's a hockey to do list for Sunday, guys. Am I missing anything?
1- Sharpen your skates. I'm told the shop near Cleveland Heights rink is closed, as is Blue Diamond in Macedonia. This leaves us as far as I know with Peranis on the west side and Kent State on the east side.
2- Buy a year's supply of sock tape now, because If you're like me, you won't remember/prioritize spending $3 a roll on it for the rest of the year.
3- Think about replacing your many years old composite stick. If you're game, replace it. Otherwise, scope out the stick you really want online, send link to your parents/significant other/workplace secret Santa. Tough it out with the old stick for the first half of the season, cross fingers you have a good Christmas. It worked for a girl I know.
4- Watch some hockey and get excited. Mighty Ducks trilogy is on Netflix. I watched the first one about a week ago. It ages pretty well, although I can't see Disney making a show full of 'like a girl' insults in this day and age, and the first Mighty Ducks is full of that. Still worth it though, and oh that Charlie Conway. Total shades of what was to come with Pacey Witter on Dawson's Creek. Ok, I've kind of gotten off topic here. My point is, between now and Sunday make sure you sit down and relax a bit, maybe watch some old hockey movies. Miracle would be great but I don't think it's on Netflix.
5- Most importantly: Go to usahockeyregistration.com and get a USA hockey number. Feel accomplished, organized and like a real grownup when you arrive at tryouts on Sunday with a completed tryout form, $10, and a USA hockey number.
See you guys soon, 4:45 on Sunday at Cleveland Heights!
