Don't play Hockey, never have. Had a bad experience. My father was career Air Force so when I was young we did'nt have a lot of money..My father went on to be a 777 captain, but even late in my childhood he was a second officer and wasn't making much more than 50k/year. He didn't make the 300/k year until I was in my 30's. But anyway, I didn't have skates so I had to borrow my friends sisters white skates and when I showed up at the outdoor rink in them people started calling me "Whitey Skateselton". A cruel play on words in reference to a popular Chicago BlackHawk at the time Whitey Stapleton. Kids can be vicious- I left and never went back.
