Hockey is a physically demanding game and like any other sport there are those who would rather do harm than play well.... I was lucky to have played in the no helmet era - no concussions and I didn't loose any teeth. I am quite certain that much of my joint problems are due to he pounding that I received while playing hockey...... so it goes!! After yesterday's blog, I went looking for some proof that I actually did play.... My sister and her family saw me score a goal when we played in Huntsville, AL.......... what fun... so here is the team and here is a picture of me.. the photos, scanned today, may be of poor quality, but I hope you get the picture!!! These were taken in Macon, GA...
When Sandy and I first started dating, I gathered together some pictures of me from different times in my life so she could get to know more about my past... I remember sending these to her and signing the picture of myself in a vain attempt to impress her..... must have worked, she kept me...
More images of a life, my life, will follow now that I found them and scanned them.....
Remember, take good care of yourself so you can take good care of another, peace, john

yah right!
With the way the game is played, I can't believe they didn't make you wear helmets! That's great that you played...I know there must be great memories.
Gosh, I miss you so much Margaret
Very COOL stuff, John. Thanks for the great pictures.
