Go Go Gadget Arms!

The Third Period
Last night I went to watch one of my friends play in his adult league ice hockey game. He’s really talented as a player. Yes, he’ll never play pro, but he definitely can hold his own on the ice. It’s one of 2-3 he’s playing on this summer as he keeps active in a sport […]
