Visiting Friends

Usually once or twice a year i like to make a small trip here and there ... small trip meaning somewhere not too far away and at a reasonably cheap cost . My good friend from Morocco is in Montreal and has been there for some time ... i like going to Montreal , he is there so why not make a trip of it ? Yeah :) Khalid has been there for a few weeks now and is probably leaving soon so this is the best time to head out there . Hoping to kill a few birds with this stone as i will be meeting Adil ( finally!) and i am really hoping to see my buddy Vince who i met way back in 2010 in Cortina , Italy ... Vince you better show up for that skate , don't be a wussy LOL !

Oh yeah and of course i am taking my gear , this will be a hockey filled weekend which i am sure will be amazing . It will be extra special if i have to wake up at 6 am on Sunday to watch Canada hopefully win the Gold Medal . For me the Olympics is the ultimate hockey , this makes Stanley Cup look like a minor hockey event :) Apparently i am on the ice twice , possibly 3 times over the weekend ... yeah i love it , just not sure when or where ... Adil has been going crazy booking different ice times . I do know i will be skating at the Bell Complex which is where the Montreal Canadiens practise on Saturday (night?) and its an open skate so if any of you Montrealers wanna come test the Travelling Goalie then step into my office hahahaha !!!! The more the merrier , my friends already asked which beer i prefer to have on arrival ... St. Ambroise Blonde please . My girlfriend is questioning if i am going to any strip joints there ... my reply was HELL YEAH ! , if i get the chance i will LOL . Montreal is known for its rippers hehehe... Club Super Sex is very well known in hockey circles , those of you that have been there for hockey tourneys have more then likely ended up there . With all honesty i am not sure if that will happen though as it seems between hockey and hockey i don't have enough time for anything aside from eating poutine and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches .... which is a high priority :)

Ahh la belle province . It has been a while since i have been there but always a pleasure . I am really excited to see Khalid . If you are wondering Mr. Khalid Mrini is the President of the Moroccan Ice Hockey Federation . I still have to write a story solely about this man and his adventure ... it is quite the road he has travelled to get to where he is . Tons of passion for the game but can't stand on a pair of skates :) Khalid i know you are reading this ... i want to see you on the ice either in Montreal OR when i come back to Rabat . I have made a few promises to you , now its your turn .

I will try to post a couple stories of my ongoings in Montreal this weekend if i have time , if not i will write about it next week when i come out of my haze :) Either or GO CANADA . this is gonna be a special weekend ... i got a feeling !
