Choose a sport, any sport - because life is like a sport. If I can see life as a sport, in a way, and people as my teammates, then this is a very healthy way for me to view the world. There is pure fun, freedom, inclusion, respect, recognition and enjoyable play! No more loneliness. No more shyness. No more suppressive confinement. Instead, there is happy comradeship, brilliant interaction, commonality, goals, self-worth and enjoyment with friends. There is hope and will to win and persistent efforts to become undisputed champs - honoured and not denied. There is appreciation for nutrition, training, and performance. There is seen value of preparation, organizing, practice, good habits and routine, being punctual and selfless. There is appreciation and acceptance of different cultures and countries, people with disabilities, no barriers of religion and no opposition from or towards the opposite sex. There is no fear of criticism, dialogue or inner reflecting, because the ongoing desire for self-improvement, innovation, ambition, vision, imagination, opportunity to display your best, hone your skills and prove what you can, requires helpful communication.

TASTE OF VICTORY



My fourth straight year in this tournament - I had also previously been in two Spring League finals, being a part of one winning team, but there was no trophy. Last year our team lost in a shootout. At the age of thirty-six, this is my first cup in hockey. This cup is called the "Unity Cup" (Psalms 133:1). It's normally presented at the end of every Easter holiday weekend, in Chemainus, British Columbia, at Fuller Lake Arena.
