birthplace of hockey

and skating on thin ice

The birthplace of hockey has been contested for years.

Some say it’s Windsor Nova Scotia.

Others suggest hockey was first played on Lake Banook in Dartmouth.

Those from the centre of the universe believe that hockey began in London Ontario.

The revisionists at the CBC have recently said that hockey was first played by some indigenous people in the north.

(this is just typical CBC dipshittery and more of their over the top fetisization of native peoples)

Where ever it began one thing is certain.

Before you skate on lakes, ponds or rivers, it’s essential to test the ice.

Even then, if you skate any place the water is moving under the ice, it’s certain to be more thin, more dangerous there.

What would it be like if the NHL played all of their games on ice where the players had at least some chance of falling in?

How would life be different for all of us if we were to acknowledge that so much of how we live is like playing NHL hockey on a lake?

Life is like skating season: short, delicate and the systems that support us are shaky at best.

Enjoy the seasons.

We’re all skating on thin ice.
