Going to the National Championship!

[ScreamingMeemie]

And I get to see them because they're in TX this year!

My niece is fourth row (counting goalies) 3rd from the right. It makes having that stupid "hockey aunt" sticker totally worth it.

1. Good luck to them!

Thank God you didn't mean the farce national championship that is the BCS!

Wouldn't spend money on that one.

4. A national hockey championship is in TEXAS??!!

Well, at least that way, no team will have home-ice advantage.

5. Huh?

Don't you remember the weather when Leon Lett fumbled the ball away against the Phins a few years back??

6. Okay, who was the Texas state high school hockey champion last year?

Sorry. Trick question.

The point is that some places have a robust hockey tradition, and others (*cough*Raleigh, NC*cough) do not.

7. You wouldn't believe how many questions I get about that damned sticker.

We do have an ice rink near-ish to us... but not near-ish enough for my son to play. He never really got the hang of skating anyway. We'll leave it to the northern family members. This should be her last year playing so it's awesome that it's here in TX. Still a 2 hour drive but it will be worth it.
