MacDaddy says "Defence" - spelled Canadian

MacDaddy has had fun playing hockey this year. This is his third year on skates and playing hockey. In the video below MacDaddy is in the middle of the frame most of the time and is #8. He does a good job protecting the Blue Line.

This year the coach has begun to establish positions. MacDaddy has decided he wants to play "defence". In American that is "defense". :-) For three years I have watched hockey and picked up a few qualities of defencemen. This clip shows MacDaddy guarding the Blue Line. Defencemen say they "do not want to loose a game" and Forwards say "they want to win a game". MacDaddy has fallen in love with the "one-timer" which is a slapshot off a moving puck... hitting the puck "one- time". Hockey is a great game. Hockey is a great team sport. Going forward, it appears, MacDaddy's contribution to the team will no longer be measured in goals scored.
