What passes for 'winter' in Adelaide is almost upon us, school has gone back for the second term of the academic year, we approach the public holidayless months between June and October, NHL approaching it's end of playoffs climax, all other northern leagues either wound up on onto their last game (KHL - Go Lev!). Summer Season C Grade and almost glory in the early autumn a receding memory.
More positively, the local leagues are starting up. Adelaide Adrenaline off to a late start in the AIHL, A Grade at the Ice Arena already played a round of games before the school break. Vikings registration for the winter season (terms 2 and 3 of the school year) is this coming weekend, games and presumably training probably commence the week following.
Ice Academy and Skating classes also begin this week. I won't be able to get to the Academy this week, but might as well pay for it at next opportunity. Might as well pay for B's classes at the same time (thanks, Uncle George and Aunty Ester). And IHSA membership (so I can play in Shinnies). And fees for the coming Vikings season with the small change.
Even with all of the equipment, not much change from a thousand dollars to play a couple seasons of ice hockey. About a quarter of that for inline. At least the gear is interchangeable between the sports at the level I play at (except the skates, of course, and (practically speaking) the hockey pants, along with ice hockey socks/inline cover pants).
