Training Session

Over here in Toronto our rec teams are not so big on training sessions " practise" but in Europe pretty much every team has at least one practise a week . During the last couple weeks i must have sent out at least 50 emails to teams and arenas in the south of England in cities like Isle of Wight , Gosport and Basingstoke basically looking for any ice time at all .

Basically pretty much every team is on holidays and i have been really close to giving up .....and then came the email i was praying for . There is a team that has a practise session in Basingstoke on January 2nd at 2215. Now who would tell me a time like that .....2215??? 10:15 PM .....The Army Air Corps team !!!!

Finally i am going to play hockey in England , the team is called the Ice Hawks . Hopefully i can get some more info about them before i get the honour of skating with them . It is not the first time i have practised with a military team ( practised with American military in Wernau,Germany) , but i am sure it will be another great experience . Along with this training session i am going to take Kathleens 2 little nephews out to teach them how to skate , which should be alot of fun . Now i just have to keep my fingers crossed that my flight doesn't get pushed back due to the weather .....
