It sounded like a good idea - start playing hockey again, at the age of 51, and after not even being on skates for over a decade. It really sounded like a good idea when I found a local organization that had an ?Over 50? hockey league. So, I took the plunge and went out to practice with the old guys.

Apparently these fellows hadn?t taken the last ten or twenty years off from playing hockey. It was a tough lesson. I think I better rethink the whole idea. Perhaps I should start out playing a little bit of pick-up basketball at the center instead of this fast, hard, fall down, have a hard time getting up, slip on the ice, get hit with hard things going really fast sport.

It sounded like a good idea.
