“Demoralizing” Overtime Loss

By Brock McBride

fter our exhibition games wrapped up we had a short break.
AMelissa, Maely, and I decided to head down to Porec, Croatia
for a few days. We packed up the car and drove south through Italy
and Slovenia before reaching the Istria Coast of Croatia. It is a very
popular tourist destination in Europe as it boasts a number of old
coastal towns with distinct European architecture, as well as pristine Maely, Melissa and Brock, enjoy a few day’s off on the Istria Coast of

When you order a fish plate you literally get the entire fish on your
plate. If you don’t mind a fish staring up at you and a little extra work Now
before digging into your meal, these seaside restaurants are a must Open
experience. After a few days in the sun, some Croatian beverages,
and fresh seafood we headed back to Villach. Time to get serious.

We started the regular season with two wins and an overtime
loss. It is always nice to come out of the gate strong because it doesn’t

off the ice and brought it back to the bench. The entire tooth was
still intact, root and all. It had to be an inch long. Unfortunately our
player swallowed the other one that got knocked out. He couldn’t
eat after the game so we stopped to get him a milkshake on the way
home. Taking a positive from this; no matter how bad your teeth start
out as a hockey player they usually end up half decent with the new
fake white ones they put in. Its 5 am and the “Bone Rattler” (Bus) 1140B Brookdale Ave., Cornwall
