Oh well, dont like hockey anyway,
those of you that hadnt heard, Kingsville was in the running for hockeyville.
We lost last night by only a few votes to quebec.
Maybe our little town will get back to normal now, and my youngest will give the phone back, after voting a million times.
Work will take down the craft dinner boxes and let some light in.

What's hockeyville?

It's a contest run by the CBC for communities to win upgrades to their hockey arena and to host an NHL pre-season game among other things.

I somehow don't think you'd be interested.

Oh, it's not something I would usually hear about, though I do try to keep up. On Saturday I was in a bar, there was ice hockey on the TVs. "Is it the play offs?" I asked, but neither the bar tender nor the customers knew.

No it wasn't, NHL playoffs start tonight.

There goes the TV schedule at CBC for the next two months, not that there was much on anyway.

This bar was on Church, was it?

It's hockey, not ice hockey. Only variants of the sport, such as field hockey, street hockey, bar-table hockey and Mexican lesbian hockey, require qualifiers.

No, it was the Deck in Orangeville, a place I'd been warned was rough but which didn't seem so. I think people in rural or small town Ontario see ice hockey as a winter sport and aren't bothered to watch American teams playing when the weather's warm.

You have my deepest sympathy I would have voted in support of you had I only known (not)
