Some misguided soul entered the following words into a search engine and landed right on 27th Street: Is it illegal to play hockey on the street?
Is it illegal?
No my friends, it is just part of growing up in Canada.
A couple weeks ago, while I was out walking the dogs after dinner, I came across a small group of kids and adults with some old hockey sticks and a tennis ball and a couple makeshift nets. They were making magic on the street. A car slowly approached and I heard that sacred cry, “CARRRRRRRR”.
That brings back ancient memories. Not of hockey, but of football and other games–always played out in the middle of the road.
