HOCKEYVILLE, USA — Turns out, heaven is a place on ice.
I found it here in a real ma-and-puck kind of place, where residents skate and chew gum at the same time, town hall meetings begin with a singing of “I Wanna Drive The Zamboni,” and the third line is not Register 3 at Target. Lunch pail and stick in hand, this community takes the day one shift at a time.
Welcome to Hockeyville.
Or, as it was known for the previous 183 years, Bowling Green.
OK, maybe we’re daydreaming.
But come spring, this hockey burg could have an unofficial new handle.
