That's one thing I was grateful for! I never took a puck to the teeth. I played when I was young, so I was tall and thin back then. Although I was the fastest on the team, when I got hit I semi-glazed over and seemed to always hit the ice chin first! LOL. Once I finally bulked up for other sports, I would have probably been put on defense. My transition was from a 6' 3" 160 lbs. to 6' 4" 225 lbs.
That would have been fun! Oingo Boingo was my favorite band around that time... I even got a pair of tickets from Danny Elfman to their wonderful Halloween show and sat next to his wife and kid up front (longer story for another time! LOL!).
Never had to play Jocky even though we were in some of the same tournaments, but he was a blast to talk to! I still remember one where he was so drunk that someone had to hold him up at the oche for him to throw! 🤣
