Hockey. I live hockey. I will always give anything to be on the ice. I do everything to live on the ice. I’m the type of kid who would abandon vacations and parties to go play hockey. On July 7th, 8th, and 9th, that’s exactly what I did. July 7th, 8th, and 9th consisted of my sister’s Summer Sizzler hockey tournament in Brick, New Jersey. Since the rink lay only twenty minutes away from a beach and boardwalk, my family decided we could go after their morning games with some teammates. Turned…
