Roller Hockey
October 5, 2006Every Sunday (and some special occasions as well) we head out to a bus parking lot near the Jin Ma Lu Qing Gui station (Golden Horse Street Light Rail Station) and play a brand of 3 on 3 roller hockey that used to be called “Bottles” due to the water bottles we used as goal posts. Our fearless leader Adrian decided to have nets made out of some metal tubing and mesh that approximated the size of our previous water bottle goals. It seems only fitting that he was the first one to “pull a Brownie” as they say and smash one of the nets after losing last Sunday’s series. I should mention that it was his first series loss of the 2006-2007 season and he had a wicked head cold so we forgave him while chuckling silently to ourselves. I should also humbly add that day marked my first series win for the season lifting a “curse” that I firmly believed would be permanent. Another member of the crew also seemed to be “cursed” but on the Tuesday October 1st PRC Classic he demolished all notions of a curse as well. Below are some photos of last Sunday’s action provided generously by Brad H.
