Last weekend was the Rose Charities annual Street Hockey tournament \u2013 otherwise known as the funnest day of hockey ever where you play ALL THE HOCKEY in 80 degree weather (80 degrees, every year, I swear) and then drink ALL THE BEER (me) and then you go to the bar and buy ALL THE RAFFLE TICKETS (Alok) and then proceed to hug ALL THE PEOPLE (me again). <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, so before the beer and the hugging there is the hockey. Quick disclaimer to this reporting: due to a slap shot to the eye (thanks so much Eitel, that was NOT the plan in the huddle. T, to review, I had said, \u201chit it right in the sky!\u201d and yes, that\u2019s a super weird thing to say in a huddle but no one else was talking and I apparently cannot stand silence.) I only saw half of the things that happened at the tournament so there might be some blind spots (nailed it!) to this reporting. I\u2019m sure though that the things that I missed were very small and not that big a deal. Everyone knows that your right eye sees all the things and your left eye is there only to be like, \u2018yeah, that totally happened.\u2019 Science, guys. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, so the first thing we all noticed –(well, the first thing I noticed is that my worries about sunscreen quickly vanished when worried about the future of my left eye –), ok, the second thing we all noticed was the reffing was ON POINT during the games. Thank you to all the volunteer refs:, Creamy, Alok, Kirkham and Schuie and whomever else reffed on the left side of my face that I didn\u2019t see. You all had very different reffing styles;, Kirkham cracked his first obligatory ref beer before the first game started. Alok decided that this was the time to really crack down on charity and turned into Alok\u2019s evil twin and called all the things. Creamy, who as Chadwick described \u201c<\/span>looked like he wandered out of a 1960s barbecue and stopped in the middle of the court to watch some hockey”<\/span> tried to ref a tight game and when that didn\u2019t work said, \u201cFuck it, kill each other for all I care.\u201d Which was very much in keeping with the spirit of charity. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt got hot, like 3 trips to the bodega for Gatorade and Smartwater hot. The hockey continued. As the rounds went on, the teams began to show their personalities. Rachel\u2019s team was accused of being the super team. It\u2019s true, they were super \u2013 Hi Ben! Rachel scored a goal on offense and did her signature two legged Laverne and Shirley jump in celebration. Filthier all paid more to be on the same team because they misunderstood and thought that it was a charity for ugly people. \u201cWe\u2019re here to give to those that have so much less than us,\u201d James said. \u00a0Ann didn\u2019t even play because that would have just been too mean. \u201cLike running at a charity event for the legless, you know?\u201d she said. Julie taught an entire team of newbies what off-sides meant, had a solid \u201cDangerous Minds\u201d teacher moment and then Gabe showed up. My team kept losing Bullmooses (bullmai?) due to injury but rock stars like Morgen pretty much scored all our goals with assists from Olivier *I\u2019m pretty sure it was Morgen you guys, but you know, THE EYE.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, so then it\u2019s the final game and we\u2019re all like, holy crap I can\u2019t believe we have to play another game right now and Schuie\u2019s team was all, we don\u2019t have to play another game, let\u2019s get beers and ice cream, wohoo! And I was all, you are not being supportive of my eye by getting ice cream. Ok, so then we played the final game and again you guys \u2013 Morgen was on fire! She\u2019s knocking everything in the net and doing this slightly gratuitous goal scoring dance, but again I can only really see half the court, and I can\u2019t really blame her because she\u2019s scoring ALL THE GOALS along with some guy named Alex that I have never met before but was really nice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, so then we get to the bar \u2013 Jamie giggles his way into winning half the things, as he somehow does every year, and Diana wins the big prize of the house in Maine and absolutely flips her shit because she\u2019s never won anything before ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All in all it was a great day of hockey for a great cause and we all hated ourselves the next day due to drinking all the beers. THANK YOU ROSE CHARITIES!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
