My other left this earth 14 years ago but I continue to think of her daily.

She's the one who would take me to the hockey games at the Olympia, she's the one who who stand at the garage door while I fired tennis balls at her at six in the morning.

She's probably talking with Bossy and Lafleur right now, discussing the games played on Saturday.

She is missed but is in a much better place.

To the other hockey moms, enjoy your day and remember you are the back bone of the family unit.

Special mention to Kate who does the live blog at Abel to Yzerman, this lady knows her hockey and should write a book on her hockey adventures.
