ya ok so you wanna know how the big l went from the school of hard knocks to being the professor of clean hits with a sprinkle of elbow then strap on and pray hard cause you is about to get schooled ok so first of all being from jacksonville florida means there isnt really much snow there jesus keeps us warm so i didnt really learn how to skate kind of ever i still hack it up big time but what really got me into wanting to play hockey was seeing all these big american men letting the left winger agenda know who is boss with their thick hip checks and supple elbow action and sometimes just a good grip and rip of the wood right across another mans wood knocking that stick right out of their hands sometimes even and ya know i just had to get to be a part of that and thankfully my dishonorable discharge from the military allowed that
