I have always wondered what my mom thought as she saw me on the bench playing with my little hockey stick. I think she knew that I would have an unconditional love for the ice. I would sit on the cold metal bench in my Old Navy brown leather jacket zipped all the way up with my hockey stick in one hand and some type of food in the other.
