  We weren’t in Toronto for long, and most of the time we had there was for wedding activities.
  
  Besides Niagara falls, and a feverish dash to a few different mini marts to stock up on my favourite Canadian snacks (mmmm Cheezies), we didn’t have time for much else, but I made sure we made time to check out the Hockey Hall of Fame.
  
  It’s located in downtown Toronto in a building filled with amazing stained glass windows. It has tons of memorabilia, facts about players and trophies, including the Stanley cup.
  
  I had my picture taken with the Stanley cup, and with some of Mario Lemieux’s jerseys. He was my first love, I remember watching a game with my dad when I was four or five and seeing him standing for the national anthem with his helmet off and thinking “That guy is beautiful”. He still is.

  We flew into NYC at 5:30 am last Friday. After a few hours of creeping around trying to figure out where we were supposed to be going, we found our hotel in Midtown, dropped off our bags, and set out to explore the city. The very first place we stopped was Central Park.
  
  It was a gorgeous day, apparently it had been cold for weeks before we got there, so the park was full of people running, walking and playing hockey. It was amazing to see the huge, beautiful park surrounded on all sides by towering skyscrapers. We climbed up on top of one of the big boulders and just sat there people watching and sunning ourselves like lizards.
  
  One of the things I liked most about New York was how easy it was to get around everywhere, either on the subway or just walking. We walked about 10 miles a day every day we were in the city. If I lived there, I would have legs of steel.
  
  We visited Central Park several times on our trip, and just spent hours walking through and looking at all of the sites, including the Belvedere castle which I thought was in my imagination since we walked all over the park and couldn’t find it, but we eventually made it there on our last stroll.
  
  There were lots of great things about our time in New York, but those first few hours in Central Park were definitely one of my favourite things. It reminded me so much of spring time in Canada, when you finally feel the sun on your face after months of bitter cold, and even though there is still snow on the ground you can finally feel the end in site. Everything smells fresh and clean, and you just want to go play outside.

  I’m off to my first Sharks game of the season. This is about to be me:
  
  Luckily I look amazing in Kelly green spandex
  
  Nothing takes me back home as fast as the smell of a hockey rink, the snap of the cold and the sound of a blade cutting into the ice. The second I walk in the door I’m five years old again, and I’m eating old rink burgers (a truer delicacy has never been found) and fries with salt and vinegar, with gummy cobras for dessert, and then running around through the entire rink, under the bleachers and back to the zamboni playing tag with my friends.
  
  I don’t think I went on a single date that wasn’t to a hockey game until I was 18, and let’s be honest, why would you want to go anywhere else? Plus they serve Canadian at the Shark Tank, and to be honest I’m not much of a beer girl, but I’ll take my Canada where I can get it, and I haven’t found anywhere else in California that serves it.
  
  Plus he plays for the Sharks. Enough said.
  
  Dibs.
