Only few will ever enter this realm...

 | Hockey culture has many sacred elements, the things of legend that the ordinary can only dream of at night. The late nights on the bus, playing cards, having a few frosty ones. The locker room chatter, stories, and pranks. The epic on ice battles, only won by coming together as a team and struggling to victory. The legendary parties, after such games. Then there is another sacred bond held by a few beauties on the squad. These lads share in the time honored tradition passed down from the previous select few beauties. The tradition of having a chew with these select few. |
 | These boys share in legendary talks while sharing a chew. There is nothing better then a night with the lads, culminating at the end of the night with a few of the boys reminiscing, lips full, about things most can only imagine. This bond has lead to many great life long friendships. It’s not unusual for one of the boys to hop in their car and drive long distances to have a chaw with one of their brethren over the Christmas break, and the off season. In an instant, we’d head off with tin in hand for one of these moments. If only to shoot the shit for a few hours sharing only in chew and drink. Some of my greatest memories have some of these spur of the moment adventures. . |
I wouldn’t trade in any of these friendships for the world. We all share in this tradition. Embrace it, as you are one of the chosen few. We aren’t part of the ordinary. Take every chance you have to celebrate this great bond we share amongst each other.
