Dogs @ Silverbacks

After an off day on the road yesterday the Dogs are back in action tonight as they visit the Salmon Arm Silverbacks at the Sunwave Centre.

Gametime is 7:30, which means the pregame show is on the air at 7:15.

Tonight's second intermission feature guest is Ryan Pinder, the play-by-play voice of the Penticton Vees.

To wrap it up today, a great funny list from Rod Pedersen's blog. Rod is the play-by-play voice of the Regina Pats of the WHL and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Find his blog HERE

The list:

IS YOUR KID'S HOCKEY TAKING OVER YOUR LIFE???

You base the next purchase of your new vehicle on whether it will
hold six kids, six sticks, and six hockey bags.

You know the location of every Tim Horton's within a 400 mile
radius of your home town.

You relate directions to places by the nearest arena (or Tim Horton"s).

You know every single kid on every single team your child has ever
played on... But don't have a clue who his school mates are.

You feel lost when you have a free weekend.

Your spouse waits until you decide where to sit and then chooses
a spot on the opposite side of arena.

You become a partner in a skate sharpening business to save
money.

You can justify complaining about someone who gives hundreds of
hours of volunteer time to your son or daughter.

You ground your kids for a week (except for hockey practice).

You can rationalize spending $229 on a CNT Stealth for a 9 year old
but won't spend $5 on a Birthday card for your wife.

When someone asks how old your children are you respond, 'I have
a '96 and a '98.'

You have had to use a grandparent to take kid #1 to a tournament
because you were at a different tournament with kid #2 and
Mom had kid #3 two provinces away in a 3rd tournament all in
one weekend. You have more miles on your '05 minivan than your
father has on his '66 Chevy

Practices make up a very large part of your social life.

You buy gloves according to how loud you can clap in them.

You find yourself missing the parents of your child's team mates
during the off-season.

You refuse to make any plans with your friends until you check
your kids' hockey schedule.

You take out a home loan to pay for all the equipment and out of
town tournament expenses.

You plan the birth of your next child to be in Jan. or Feb., so he has a
better chance of making the rep team.

Your new baby's first word is "hockey"

You name the family pet "Crosby".

All computer passwords begin with 'hockey' or contain child's
jersey number.

You have been barred from more than one rink on more than one occasion

You purchase your child a new $299.00 stick because old one 'didn't have
any goals left in it.'

You know a few 5 year olds that are good but they really 'lack focus'.

You've have had your kids ask if Christmas is 'home or away' this year.

Asked to decide between try-out and first communion - asked
church what his options were.

You received a letter from AAA Automobile Club and called back for more
info about the tryouts.

Talk to you tonight from Salmon Arm.
