Stuck in the bag...

So he has had me stuck in that over-sized bag with all that other smelly ass equipment, and, it seems that I can only get out to play hockey or air out between games.... He has been doing the occasional pick up group and alternating Bison games with some punk kid with a plain blank mask, I have character.... I could go on an on about the life in the bag and skating, but I have bigger news...

So this past weekend while airing out in his apartment, I over hear that he is going to be bringing me some place special for Christmas.... He knows how much of a Boston Redsox fan I am, let's it out that we are going to be playing a game at Fenway Park... YES, that Fenway Park... I have never been there, mostly because they don't let hockey equipment into the park during baseball season, but I love watching it on TV. A little background on the playing hockey at Fenway Park... The Boston Bruins are playing the annual Winter Classic, an outdoor game played in a venue that is not built for hockey. On January 1st, 2010, they will be playing the Philadelphia Flyers. As part of this they are allowing organizations, at a huge cost, play on the ice. He is going to play with me on December 21st at 8 PM. The park will be open for people wanting to come watch me play, free admission and there will be concession stands open serving things like hot coco and coffee...

So I made him go shopping for something special to commemorate the occasion... I have hat to keep me warm while playing outside. A cool Redsox hat...
