I just realized that all my September entries are privatized/friends only. That gives the false illusion that I have somewhat of an exciting life that is too scandalous to let everyone read about. What it really means is that I talk about people from work and am paranoid someone will stumble upon it and figure out who I am and who I'm talking about... *sigh*
I went to my first hockey game in a long time last night - a preseason match between the Wolf Pack and the Lock Monsters. I forgot how much I used to enjoy going to games and having a team that I felt really passionate about. Not that I can say I feel really passionate about this team yet - there are not many returning players from previous seasons. And I don't think I will ever feel as passionate and connected to a team as much as I was about the Whalers or the early Wolf Pack teams from the first few seasons they were here. We had such good guys back then, and I don't think we'll ever have a team again that can match the kind of characters and personalities we had back then. Those days were just so much fun.
I also just found out today that Kevin Dineen is the head coach of the Pirates. How did I miss that announcement? Given his icon status around here, I thought for sure I would have seen something about it in the newspaper. Maybe I just missed it. I am so happy for him. He will also be my most favorite player, and I am glad someone was finally smart enough to scoop him up to coach. Of course, now I will be torn because I really want him and his team to do well... But I am sure they will. Hockey runs in his family's blood.
