A reader asked me why I never write about or talk about hockey. I have many great memories of working with the Charlotte Checkers. I went on a road trip with them, pretended I coached them and sat in the penalty box during a game.
One Checker spent so much time in the penalty box, I told him he should hang up pictures of his family. He said he liked the idea.
But hockey is one of the sports I don’t follow. I don’t know who is in the playoffs. I don’t write about them because if I did I’d be pretending.
