What is this "winter" boating you speak of?


Is it this:

Ok, that I agree is neat. Back in the day, I used to have a DN that I
sailed at Webster Lake. It's a lot of fun.

or maybe this:

That's more my concept of "winter" boating. :)


My concept of winter boating where I grew up was the New York Boat
Show.
About all we did with "outside water" was ice skate on it, from
November to March.



Or that. :)

Although I never got the hang of ice skating for some reason. I could
"skate" as in go in one direction, but it was a wobbly kind of thing -
just could never quite get it.

Same with snow skiing - never could quite get the hang of it. Just
not coordinated enough I guess. I do wish they had had snow boards in
my day - I think I could have handled that fine.




I spent my first winter as a skater playing goalie in our pickup
hockey games. That way, I didn't have to skate too much. It was
traditional that the worst skater played goalie.



I used to organize a pick-up type of hockey league at work. Sometimes we
played amoung ourselves, and other times we would play other companies
to split the ice rental. I still have the 'Mother Corp' hockey jersey
somewhere.
One of my *treasures positions* back in the 60s was a pair of CCM Tacks
worn by Bobby Hull in a commercial. Trouble was, the skates were only
size 8.5 so I had to buy an early model of Lange moulded boot type
skates. Those are still in the basement collecting dust.
My hockey position was defenceman because I was slow skating and
couldn't turn to the right as well as I turned to the left.
When we were kids we grew up playing 'ground hockey all
fall/winter/spring. Those were the days!

ooopps... should be *treasured possessions*

Our pickup hockey games were played on a little lake north of Westville,
a suburb of New Haven. There were no rules there. The city's outdoor
skating rinks did not allow pickup hockey games, and the indoor old New
Haven Arena did not allow anything other than skating in a big circle to
music.

I was never good enough a skater to even try out for our high school's
varsity hockey team. Those guys could skate!

We didn't allow "lifting" in our pickup hockey games. No one wanted to
loose teeth or an eye. If you slammed the puck and it hit someone above
the legs, the opposing team got a point.


In our work games, we didn't allow slapshots or supposedly body
checking... but any kind of wrist shot was ok.
I was only injured once when I hit knee on knee with a guy on my own
team. He was a bit of a Tasmanian Devil and all over the place. I saw
him coming but couldn't avoid him and that had me limping for a week or so.
Lake/pond hockey wasn't as common here on the coast as most of the
country. The weather is too flakey (numerous freezes & thaws) thanks to
the influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

I never played hockey or basketball in high school.

Couldn't play one and hated the other. :)

I never played hockey in high school. No frozen ponds 10 blocks from San
Francisco Bay. Was an ice rink in Berkeley. Female neighbor went there
every morning at 6am to practice skating so she could be in the Ice Follies.
Her uncle owned them. She did do the IF for a year. Loved basketball.
Just slow and in those years could not hand check. If you touched someone
else was a foul.

Hal Perry from my high school. Very nice man, met him last year, was only
about 5'11" tall and still was a great BB player. He set history when he
first played for USF by having the first majority black BB team on the floor
for a major college basketball game. And the first majority black player
team to win a national title. And the USF team was the best in the nation
for a couple of years. They did have a couple of other pretty good black
players also. KC Jones and Bill Russell. Pretty good for a academic public
high school.

Let's see. You hate cold. You don't snow ski nor ice skate. What to
hell are you doing in the equivalent of Siberia???

Good question.

Talk to Mrs. Wave. :)

Understood!

My reasons were too cold out to play hockey. I didn't like cold even
when I was a kid, didn't care much for sledding and getting snow packed
in everywhere. I tried to play basketball, but wasn't tall enough. I
wrestled all through high school.

I was only 6'2" in high school and not nearly tall enough to play for my
school's team!

My high school basketball team's tallest player was only 6'2 and we won
the state AAA championships my senior year. This was the same year Ralph
Samson played. Good thing his high school was in AA school.

Ok, you forced me into it.

I struck out Anthony Richard "Tony" Conigliaro in his final at high
school at bat when I was a Freshman in high school.

So there.

Pffffhhhhhtttt.....
So you're the one that put him out with a bean ball. What kind of sportsman
