The Definition of Cross-Checking

A particularly stupid cross-checking penalty by Jason Arnott in last night's Stars-Ducks game reminded me of something that happened in our Sunday game with the Y Guys. A Y Guy, I believe in an attempt to clear the slot of my linemate Big Bad Baldwin, gave him a mighty two-hands-on-the-stick shove from behind and was immediately called for cross-checking. He was livid. "I just pushed him in the back!" he yelled at the ref.

This is a fantastic site. My wife started playing about the same time you did, and I started shortly after her.

We have been reading about your hockey adventures almost since the begining and they have mirrored hers exactly on several occasions.

Looks like we should start a hockeyblog.. hmmmm..

Found your site via Angela's goalieblog (http://www.goaliegirl.com/blog) by the way.

Thanks, Clark! Funny how universal the experiences associated with learning to play adult hockey are. :) If you start a blog, let me know!

I did a search for talk about sports as I am looking for information on where Halifax Mooseheads players lived and the history about them and their culture. We have and have had hockey players from all over the world play with the local hockey team here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am researching anyone who has played in the past and the present for the Halifax Mooseheads hockey team. As I was web surfing, going from one topic to the next I came upon your website as I was looking for hockey blogs, as I thought about creating a blog on the Halifax Mooseheads hockey team. Anyways I read your blog to see if you had any information on how to operate a blog.
I will be back to see if you added anything new that might help me.
Good luck with your website.
Take care and God Bless
