I have quite a few memories from playing hockey as a kid. But I think the one that stands out for me was when I had earned enough money to buy my very first pair of new CCM Mustangs. I can't remember the name of the sporting goods store, but I think it was at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, N.J. I walked in and went straight to the skates. Tried on a pair in my size (I was in hockey heaven), went up to the checkout counter and plopped down my money. I even had enough money to buy a Northland stick! That night I spitshined those skates so shiny that I could see my reflection in them!

I still have those skates today, hanging on the wall in the shed. My number, 21, can barely be seen on the sides.
