Ouch!

Never again will I take to the ice without a helmet.

Not after the knock on the head I took after I went ass backwards while practicing my stopping last night during a public skate at the local arena.

Quite simply it scared the shit out of me as the ceiling of the seemed to spin by me as my brain smashed into the the inside of my skull.

As I made my way off the ice, I honestly didn’t think I was going to make it to the door.

After a few minutes to collect myself–and get a good taste of blood from the small cut on my lip–I thought to myself how utterly stupid that was.

A note about ‘The Rocket’

A few people have asked me what's up with the image at the top of the page. Well, it's an image courtesy of Marc Audet. Along with being a weird hybrid Calgary Flames and Ottawa Senators fan, he is also one of the region's top illustrators. You can check out more of his work at Rocket 57
