These are a few of my favorite things...
...from my activities recently that I haven't blogged about.Working the MN State HS Girls Hockey Tourney:
* Hearing the National Anthem played by a high school band with an unsteady snare drum roll, a squeeky clarinet and trumpet solos that are slightly off. There's just nothing like the National Anthem at a sporting event played by a full band. I love it.
* Seeing thousands of people watch a high school girls championship game.
* Hearing two giant throngs of fans for two different schools yelling at the top of their lungs across an arena at each other.
* Double Overtime
* Overtime in a championship game.
* A pure hat trick...double pure when you consider it included a power play goal, an even strength goal and a short-handed goal.
* Duelling zambonis perfectly clearing the ice every time without leaving a streak.
* Walking into an empty arena that has a clean sheet of ice, the American flag hanging on one end and absolute total silence.
* Locking the keys in my truck, AAA showing up in 5 minutes (no joke) and the locksmith taking TWENTY minutes in 10 degree weather to unlock my truck because he wouldn't listen to me when I tried to tell him that I knew which tool would actually work.
Coaching College Tennis:
* Having both the guys and girls team warm up together with the radio on in the background, have "You're Beautiful" come up on the CD, and all of both teams suddenly burst out with the chorus at the top of their lungs with no warning.
* Watching a player that you just gave the perfect advice to during a change over while they were down by 3 or more games come back and win the match.
* Watching your team lose a match by a lot on the scoreboard, but be extremely happy with the way they played on the court because they played amazing.
* Watching your team CRUSH a team that they lost to the year before. In fact, watching them win so easily that you didn't even have to talk to them during the match except to say "Nice shot."
* Having Wednesday's 7pm-10pm practice rescheduled to 5pm-8pm!
