That hockey stick....

While playing for Fairhavens Baptist, Lloyd was the coach. He took a chance and allowed me to join the team, switch from Fenelon Falls.

During one particular game, I broke my stick. Back on the beach I started asking to borrow another stick, with the hopes of using one of the fancy new sticks at the end. When I didn't get much a reply, Lloyd handed me a stick to use. It was too long, heavy and had a flat blade. Thinking to myself, are you kidding me how can I use this thing? However I couldn't very well step on the ice wiithout one so my options were pretty limited.

Then any sort of argument towards this stick become even harder as, the very next shift, I went out using this heavy piece of timber........and scored 3 goals with it.

Coming back to the bench, Lloyd has he typical warm smile and a gleam in his eye. He didn't say much other then "a stick dosen't make the player" and padded me on the shoulder.

To a great coach

Thanks Lloyd.
