Ovechking of the World

Hey, how ’bout that blog title, huh? Mixing “Ovechkin” with “king of the world”? Pretty impressive for 9:55 in the morning, I say. Anyway, I saw a hockey highlight on TV last night, and I had to share it with you as soon as possible.

Here we go!:

Pretty cool, right? The scorer, of course, is NHL superstar Alexander Ovechkin. My favourite part is right at the beginning when he passes the puck to himself. What?! Who does that? Sneaking the puck past the goalie from his back was mighty impressive, too.

Also, it’s a great day for a hockey highlight considering it’s the start of the
World Pond Hockey Championships in Plaster Rock, New Brunswick. Seriously. People come from all over. I just read an article about a team from Chicago. That’s serious dedication to a sport.

Tomorrow: a mailbag! Talk to you then.
