:x grrrr scares make you tough

Anyone who would complain about the sport court bottom being used at Calgary Worlds thinking the tile below was passable would have to consider injuries like that. Over the course of the whole tournament there would have been dozens of those.

As far as my worst injury... can't decide between two. I caught a puck to the mouth off an advantage puck cloud of blood in the water (no call, yes i'm still bitter) 7 stitches in the lip. If it wasn't for the mouth guard and a stout snorkel mouth piece I would have lost teeth.

Other real bad one I was diving in hard on a defender who had the puck infront of their goal. I thought I could stuff him and score before he got the flick off... I was wrong. Didn't help it was a guy who has one of those flicks that averages 3 meters but never gets more than a foot off the bottom. Shattered my knuckle took 3 tries two differnt doctors and 3 inch long pins to put it back in place. I still get shy about trying to block his shots.
