| On Saturday night the Ramblers and Mistatim Warriors engaged one another
in what is turning out for the Ramblers to be an excellent season, but our camera
not only caught some of the on ice action, but it is important to see the support
and participation of friends and family in this endeavour. Hockey is, when you talk
to a player or one of the supporters on these pages, a way of life. The sport has
traditions and a heritage that involves not only those involved now, but also those
who were involved and will be involved. Though a game with incredible speed and plenty
of danger, it can be played from age five until fifty-five and there are are leagues
where you have to be over sixty-five to be eligible to play. Canadians appreciate
the game for a wide range of reasons, many of which they can not describe, but we
all seem to believe that at the heart of it, hockey is a team sport in which people
must rely upon each other. This aspect of shared experience is on and off the ice
and perhaps explains one of the main reasons for its continued popularity. |
