Sunday afternoon brought me to the ScotiaBank Place for the Timbits Jamboree where 7000 kids attended to play hockey on the Senators ice.
Luckily I only had to get there in the late afternoon so I missed the madness which was 7000 kids. Ryley was hitting the ice around 5:00 so I settled into Section 102 with Janice and company and talked for awhile.
It was pretty amazing to be sitting right next to the ice as opposed to the 300 level. It was surreal to be in there with little to no crowd. At one point, there were just 10 of us in the entire building. It took away from the magic which is a hockey rink when grand events are happening (like two NHL teams duking it out). It just seemed…like a hockey rink! Strange I must say.
Ryley was excellent on the ice and it brought up thoughts as to whether or not I’ll ever get my kid into hockey as I can’t skate at all, let alone know much about hockey. Perhaps I’ll get my kid to be a pro guitar player. That’s where the big bucks lie!
