Women & Hockey – An Observation

This observation is not so much about last night’s game as it is about women and hockey in general. Back in the 50’s, it was all about the husband, father, uncle, brothers’ opinion on the game. No matter how much I loved the game, I was never allowed to express my opinion. Now, thanks to my daughters, I am actually enjoying hockey as never before. They dragged me, kicking and screaming into this wonderful worls of women hockey lovers. At 75, I have found a new comradery.

I have travelled to other womens’ blogs and learned more than I ever learned those long years ago of men and their opinions of sports in Montreal.

So I say “Thank You” to all women who truly love the game and are not afraid to voice their opinions. Win or lose, I will follow my home team, The Kings, all the way to the end of the season. And, God willing and the creek don’t rise, I will be there to cheer them on for many years to come.

By the way, the game last night was all Jonathan Quick. What a guy! Now if they can stop showing and talking about the damn coaches, maybe we could watch some hockey.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all. GO KINGS!
