Longbranch Arena, a blast from my past



Longbranch Arena is two streets over from Anchovy World Headquarters. When I was a little tyke, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, my house league hockey team would occasionally play a game over there. I hadn't been in the building in maybe 35 years. We went over there to see Z's kids play Timbit Hockey. This is hockey where you don't keep score, don't call off-sides, don't have so many formal rules. The kids are just learning and they have a blast out there. It's fun to watch. It's as if the kids are attracted to the puck as if by a magnet, yet when they get close, making contact is another story. What great fun!

As a plus, Z turned me on to the awesome back bacon on a bun sandwiches available at the arena. Delicious.

I love watching little kids all shuffling after the puck as a single unit. So cute!

And it's even better with bacon.
