Hockey party

Q: Describe the highlights of your hockey party.

A: My favorite part was just playing hockey with friends and having a good time. The highlights were when we were skating (Dagleys & us) and the Geigers came to join us. Basically, I just liked the whole thing and hope to do it again sometime with a whole bunch of friends, and get better at hockey.

Q. Describe how a game of hockey is played.

A. Official hockey is played indoors on ice rinks. There are 6 people with hockey sticks on the ice all the time, and they are trying to get a puck into the goal. A puck is hard, round, black, and about 3" in diameter, and a goal is a steel box with one open end that is 6' long and 4' high. Here is a hockey stick fact, Players used to curve their own blades by heating them in boiling water, with a torch or a blow dryer and then jamming them under a door and pulling up on the stick.

Time to go,

Jacob
