This was the Thursday night in October I would suddenly
rush home and turn on Hockey Night in Canada. The night in high school, when I’d
get home from marching band practice and run downstairs, frantically flipping
to channel 99; Toronto would be playing their first game of the season. I got
to see all the new and old faces once again, hear the voice of Bob Cole, and witness some
fast-paced sports action once again.
This was the night I counted down to during my freshman
year at CMU, starting from a month away. The player introductions, the first goal,
all the excitement. I think September 2010 was half-spent sucking in the
college life, the other half was waiting for opening night on CBC…
There wasn’t any anticipation this year…I’m so sad…
