Rookie Tournament

Yesterday, my sister "Golden Chestnut" and i checked out the Leafs Rookie Tournament at the KW Aud.

Interesting game of the Leafs vs. Bruins... basically these guys are the top draft picks for each team, they play in this tournament as a form of try-outs i guess. Final score was 6-5 for Boston.

There were 3 pretty hilarious fights... one right after the other.

Chesnut and i decided to compile a list of the top 3 things that are acceptable in hockey, but not anywhere else:

1. bending at the waist, leaving your ass completely in the air.

2. repeated pelvic thrusts against the ice, in front of thousands of people.

3. having striped socks pulled up to meet your shorts.


Best part for me, since i am a totally magazine geek was this, i love how close the typeface is:

Also loved seeing the piece of public art in front of the Aud - heard a talk about this a couple years ago. Very cool, spins and throws a shadow of maple leaves onto the sidewalk if you're there at the right time. So i hear anyway.




Many thanks to Jeremy at the Aud.
