<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I moved to Vancouver, BC, a few weeks ago. I know I haven't been in SSH for as long as most folks here, but playing hockey with you all was a highlight of my time in Seattle and I feel compelled to say a few words.</p>
<p>Jake, it all started with you graciously inviting me to my first game. Ray, the stick you lent me was the second time I ever touched a hockey stick at all! And to everyone else, thank you for welcoming me into the community. I didn't make it widely known…</p>
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I moved to Vancouver, BC, a few weeks ago. I know I haven't been in SSH for as long as most folks here, but playing hockey with you all was a highlight of my time in Seattle and I feel compelled to say a few words.</p>
<p>Jake, it all started with you graciously inviting me to my first game. Ray, the stick you lent me was the second time I ever touched a hockey stick at all! And to everyone else, thank you for welcoming me into the community. I didn't make it widely known that I had zero hockey experience, but I want you all to know now that you brought a brand new person into the game and gave him so much joy all those Saturdays.</p>
<p>Special thanks to everyone that took time to give specific instruction or advice along the way, and continued to do so even after being hit by my errant slap shots. I could name half the club, but I have to shout-out: Cam, Dan, Dean, James, Jared, and Ryan.</p>
<p>There's one more thing I'll always remember and cherish. For a long time, it was my dream to be part of a sports team and win a championship... Aaron, Ajay, Jim, Mark, Sam, Sam, and Scott, you all made that dream come true at the Everett Tournament - honourary mention to Erik for adding me to the team! Thank you for a memory of a lifetime.</p>
<p>Y'all have something special here at SSH. I wish everyone the best, and I hope the club continues to grow. I'm planning to visit Seattle every month or so, when COVID is over, and would love to play again on those weekends.</p>
<p>Josh</p>
<p>Cheeky P.S. - My only regret is I did not score the series-winning goal at a Can-Am Tournament before leaving. The resulting celly would've tormented the US team (and Cam) for ages.</p>Weekday hockey?tag:seattlestreethockey.com,2020-03-08:923419:BlogPost:854672020-03-08T18:00:00.000ZJoshhttps://seattlestreethockey.com/profile/JoshG
<p>With most people being told to stay home, someone suggested weekday afternoon hockey.</p>
<p>Who’s in for that, and when shall we play?</p>
<p>The current idea is Thursday at 4 pm!</p>

<p>I've been looking forward to it for months, but my gf's parents are visiting from Asia on the Jun 1 weekend :(</p>
<p>This is 100% a selfish request, so I'm ready to make up for it appropriately: bringing beer for everyone, making a sizable donation to the SSH Bank, etc.</p>
