Summer afternoons and road hockey are a great mix. The game is made even better when played on a tennis court so you don't have to run after an out-of-play ball.
Yesterday, Trevor Baran's sons Nick, Carter and Tanner, along with my son Thomas and a few other boys had robust game on the court beside the high school. As I watched them chasing the ball around I began reminiscing about countless hours of road hockey I played in Wolseley.
In my childhood, most road hockey games were organized and promoted by Mark Schramm. Mark lived a couple of doors down from us and he was always in the center of finding ways to have fun.
Sometimes people wonder what there is to do in a small town. Well, when you are a boy, and you've got a hockey stick and a ball, there is ALWAYS something to do.

Hey Rob, sure brings back lots of memories about "Road Hockey", and especially Mark Schramm. I work very closely with Schramm, as we are both Nurse Managers/Coordinators, in the Sk'tn Health Region. I will tell him he is now famous, as a result of your blog. Thanks for the memories.
Blessings

PS Hey Mr Bishop, howz things?
Thanks Mark,
I had a great chat with Shonna the other day. It's wonderful that one can go literally years without talking to an old friend, but since we all have so much in common from those formative years the conversation just flows.
All the best to you and your family Mark,
Robert
