[QUOTE="db-2, post: 337259, member: 4743"] Canada: Our son played club hockey in a small town just north of the border until his junior year in school when it became high school hockey at that age. We would leave on Friday for Canada and come back home on Sunday night. Every town had a hockey ring and a hockey team. Average around 50 games a winter. The games were rough as was the spoken English. Most games there was a fight and many times when it came to shake hands at the end it never got completed due to a fight. I was even able to get kick out of one tournament. I remember on a tournament in Brandon when we all got back to the hotel the coach brought in two cases of Bud. Told the kids one of his rules was only three beers a night as he needed them to play the next day. I would say about half took part in the beer. It was the best of times for me, the wife and our son. A lot of good memories and friends up there.
