Chicago Wolves Hockey

chicago_wolves_2001When I was in grade school, I used to go to the UIC Flames hockey games all the time.  I’ve not been to a hockey game for every bit of twenty years now, and what a blast!  It would have been fun even if we didn’t win, but since we did, it was just all the more special.

Miscellaneous Debris Wear Spotted in the Wild
