TRIPS

Games are played and won or lost but time moves us all forward to look towards another game. We rarely look back at game memories other than in the dressing room or rehashing it over with a few cold ones in a local establishment. However, a trip creates memories forever. Stories are told over and over again.
Here are a few of those stories ...... although others would do it much more justice.



Florida
We've had a few old stories like playing half ice because most of it was melting resulting in Don Simpson breaking his leg as he went throug the ice.
In another tournament in Florida, we played with ten players and after getting throughly beaten in a preliminary game against a police team from Mississauga that wore pink sweaters, we beat them in the final. They were surprised as much as we were.
Another memory was the three amigos; Jim W, Les and Chris all bought the same baggy lined pants and practically wore them all week.


Lake Placid

I might have had too good a time as I can't remember too much other than we lost in the final against an American team. Rosie (Bob Roselle) and Paul McCain played for us.


Vancouver 2000 World's
We played with eight players. Ian, Jim W. Gerry, Gary, Calvin, Chris and I forget who else.

France
Our first European trip. We visited Paris, Nice, played in the Alps. We had kids asking us for autographs.

Central Europe
Mark Grimes "Code Red" is a classic


SPAIN
The rumble in the Pyrennes where a bunch of old hockey players were going to teach an entire bar that you don't steal a beer from a drunken Irishman.
