Why I love hockey....

...and it's more than just Sidney Crosby. Hockey is something I've always liked, but coming to University I really didn't get to watch it all that much. Watching the Olympics really reminded me how much I enjoy watching Hockey...good hockey, but there's more to it.

My grandmother was the smallest woman I've known. At 4'10'' she was such a tiny beautiful little lady. She was also the sweetest woman I've known. By looking at her, you would never guess that she was a sports fan. But she was, she LOVED to watch Hockey and Football. I remember visiting when I was little and sitting with her as she got excited to watch Hockey night in Canada. I thought it was great that this little tiny woman could love two of the most physical sports in the world.

When I sit and watch hockey I can almost hear her. I remember sitting listening to her oooo and ahhh ing at good plays and goals. I wish I could watch hockey with her again. It's been almost 2 years since she passed away, and I miss her.
