All I know was it was the single most stupidest decision I ever made in my entire life.
And that includes the time I listened to the "sports agent" (i.e. licensed bandit in a fancy suit) that told me I was such a good hockey player (at 5' 7", 160 pounds..go figure!) that I could skip my last two years of college and go pro. My pro career lasted exactly six games, and one broken orbital bone, in the AHL. I almost lost my eyesight over it and hung the skates up for good.
Well, doesn't that just "puck". LOL We're hockey fans. :)
