So I went to my boss the other day, and suggested to him that I might not be in the next morning, as I wanted to attend the USA Hockey practice today. His sage advice was, 'you got the time, why don't you take the day off?'. You got to love wisdom out of your boss.
The practice today was just that, a practice. Fun to attend, good for basic photography, but not necessarily inspiring. Having been assured by the R-Bar on twitter (@R-Bar_AD) that they not only offered doctor's excuses for missing work, but that they were streaming a couple of World Cup of Hockey exhibition games, I headed there after the practice.
