    And field hockey has a weird, tiny, hooked stick unlike the sticks used in regular hockey, which are actually designed with the sport in mind.

    As a Philadelphia Flyers fan, I noted Wilberforce’s Pittsburgh Penguins jersey.
    Due to the cross-state rivalry, I love how, in the Bugs Bunny cartoon, “8 Ball Bunny,” a hobo in a boxcar says to Bugs, “Penguins is practically chickens.”
    Now only if the greedy National Hockey League would stop disregarding the fans that pay their salaries and start playing!

    We played a game called “shinney”, played with any stick we could find, usually a tree limb about 3 or 4 feet long, and an empty tin can. Before a game was over, the can was just a wadded up clump of metal and nobody was hurt—-usually!

    For hockey fans – a tentative labor agreement has been made. That’s if anyone is still interested. I liked field hockey in school – we didn’t have ice anywhere.

    We played that once in private school. Only we had to clean the grass stains off our private school uniforms.

    Field hockey is a men’s sport in pretty much the rest of the world. We had an English exchange student in my high school class that was pissed that he couldn’t play field hockey and had to settle for a sissy sport like soccer.

    Or a Pittsburgher. The Penguins are loved in this town second only to the Steelers. I wish we had a professional baseball team…but we’ve only got the Pirates.
