Daily Photo — Homage to the beard

Since the Stanley Cup Playoffs start tonight, I thought I would honour them with a hockey related picture. This photo shows the ice rink in Valley Ridge where I grew up. 

Vancouver starts its quest to win the Cup tonight as they host the Chicago Blackhawks. The school I teach at is alive with spirit. Canuck jerseys and paraphernalia are everywhere. So everyone should tune in and check out the game tonight. I will be out watching it with a very good friend. 

If this city is anything like Calgary and Edmonton during their long playoff runs it promises to be an exciting few months in Vancouver. Also, this is the day when many a young men shave for the final time and begin to sport their playoff beards. Let's hope we see some long ones in Vancouver.
