Nickname: "Robbie"Played a couple seasons in the Metro Classic Hockey League in Omaha. Then I pcs'd here 8 years ago...
Hockey Highlights:Just starting to play this freaking awesome game. And now getting to "coach" E3 and hopefully helping other learn to play.
Hobbies:No matter what happens in my life I will always need to play Hockey and go Hashing. Otherwise, someone will have to die. Sorry, but it's true. These things keep me sane, you've seen the exterior, imagine what lurks beneath! That and motorboating, it helps when a panic attack comes on.
Memories:
I actually remember some stuff about Hockey. How back in Omaha we would drink pitchers of beer and watch Hockey games on the big screens at a bar outside one of the rinks after a game. Then Summer ice started and now we could go to the game in shorts and flip-flops!!! Then after the game go outside, drink lots of beer and grill food with the guys you just played AND the guys that were going on after the game that was currently being played inside. I also remember driving through town to one of those games with my only hockey stick on the back bumper of my truck, still there when I parked!
I also remember how Matt "Mario" Lemieux and I thought we'd "show those young punks how to do it" at our first Garmisch tourney. The plan was to stay up all night after partying and go to the rink and play all day. We took a "nap" for 1 or 2 hrs before the game, woke up at puck drop, dressed in the Edelweiss driveway waiting for a Taxi, got there at the start of the 2nd, and didn't play til the end of the 3rd when everyone else was gassed. And this is why every year we brief that if you're drunk you don't get to play. Man we showed them!
Mario and I are also the dynamic duo that started the Jaeger bombs in the locker room, then took it to the stands. You're welcome.
Jeez, the Czech hockey camp, part one, was so out of control the entire story has been redacted from my email. Parts two and three share similar highlights. The food in the bar that we ate at every day and every meal, the beer, the canoe trip, the hookers on the drive there and back, such good memories. All the fun times with Mike, Mario, Donnie, B-Mar, and the rest down at Bob's place playing inline. The all nighters for the Stanley Cup and again for Mario's promotion. Playing pick up games at midnight, singing karaoke til the Sun came up. Partying with Hartford Whaler Bob Sullivan, his daughter and her husband on their honeymoon. Man, that was some good "stuff" right there.
Finally, I'll never forget that feeling of calm and peacefulness, that everything will be ok no matter what else is going on in the World, that envelopes me every time I walk in a rink and smell the ice.
