Skate at a local community outdoor rink tonight. Feel the natural ice.
Hit the ODR before sunset, when it’s mostly empty. Go to a neighborhood you’ve never been to. Pass the puck to someone you think may have nothing in common with you.
Step on the ice. Take a stride, shoot the puck. Stay for just one more shift. Stay for two.
Be open to a shinny where you might not know the person you are playing with, but say “Good Job” to them anyways.
Breathe in the cold air. Check in on your linemates. Check in on yourself.
Enjoy the game!
