All the other games were outdoor rinks and goals made out of chain link fence which I hated. I was always fascinated by the hockey net.
You got to see the big boy schools of that era for sure. Would've been a blast, I bet.
Would never want to go back and do life over, but if I could, I'd want to be where I could play hockey from earliest age. I will always wonder how I could've been had I been born in USSR and they made me do it.
