Got a reasonable sleep last night after my second shift 8 pm to Midnight. Thought I didn't need to eat afterward, so just brought my pj's to the rink and went straight to bed after but the grumbling stomach last night said otherwise. I've got an extra half a quesidilla stashed away from lunch this time;)
Had a burst of energy in the last hour of my shift and got my first hat-trick! I count each four hour shift as a 'game'. Whoop whoop! Unknowingly witnessed by Yuben and Richard some Stantec folks who were watching after their game! I was also visited by Sarah, Mike and Owen during the daytime which was great. Owen took his turn clearing the ice with the zamboni. I really appreciate all the nice texts, facebook posts and email messages! My phone isn't usually turned on as I'm either on the ice or sleeping most of the day;)
So far everyone is healthy, but we've had a couple of good hits on the head and some bad cramps. In that case someone who is supposed to be resting suits up and takes their place. My friend Tamaki who is apparently insane did that today, then stayed for another hour or so into the next shift just to play?! It wasn't even her shift.
We had some folks come by to visit us today, a family where all three kids have CF, twin girls and an older brother. Talk about tough luck, those people should buy lottery tickets. They made one player Frankie cry, but that isn't very hard to do. She just had to look at them. We asked them to make us signs for encouragement and they promised to bring them next time they visit.
Right on Owen! Do you need a licence to drive a Zamboni?
