Haha! - My (totally Canadian) experience from my youth was playing road hockey, which was done on the schoolyard at recess or on the weekend, using a tennis ball and no equipment other than sticks. My best friend drilled me right in the swannicles with a really hard slapshot once - I dropped to the pavement, rolled around for quite a while, and the pain was nothing short of...surreal. For some reason I've never forgotten that... |
