Weekend Video: Here’s Hockey!

Yes, this has absolutely nothing to do with Personal Finance or Banking or the like, but I really like this video from the NFB, Here’s Hockey talks about an earlier day, when kids played hockey without helmets or cages, and we played outside and maybe a more naive time.

I remember playing outside, with my Dad standing there freezing himself solid and then having to listen to me complain how cold I was after the game was played. The only thing that kept him warm was his cigarette!

I love this clip, it has Jean Beliveau, and Dick Irvine the coach.

Listen to the size of the NHL, it’s a $6M dollar business (how much is Jim Balsillie paying for the Coyotes?). Skates that are LUDICROUSLY expensive at $50 a pair, a simpler time that is for sure.
