It Should Be Fun

The NHL may have said it best. I, for one, am all about letting kids celebrate a goal. It's one of the hardest things to do in hockey, and to do it on the big stage on NHL ice should be cause for major celebration. During the intermission at the Capitals and Sabres game, this youth hockey player lit the lamp and went full Ovechkin, perhaps his hero, when it came to his celebration. Well done, young man. HBIC is a major fan of yours.

That's unbridled passion and joy, folks. That's what hockey is supposed to be.

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
