As we do life in a post quarantine world, we seem okay on the surface, but we are boiling inside. Our social gages are sending warnings regarding our imminent spiritual and social malfunctioning. People are subject to pull the trigger in a mass shooting, cancel someone because they do not fully embrace their political, religious or social ideologies. When we misspeak or misstep, we expect understanding and coddling, but we have zero mercy for errors in others (do not mess up the "zero mercy" person's Starbucks order or else ). We seem to be increasingly desperate, discouraged by the higher cost of living, and searching for meaningful personal connections but we are unsure of who to connect with and trust. We are clearly wiser technologically, economically, and structurally, but seemingly more barbaric socially. We are not being very loving toward each other. Have we compromised so slowly and surely, we do not realize have far off center we really are? Has compromise blinded us and made us callous? Do we care about our social gages warning us about our spiritual and social malfunctioning? Do we care about compromise in the culture when God wants to use us to facilitate Him establishing a love relationship with the people in the culture? In all the drama presented in the book of Judges, we see God doing His eternal work in a compromising culture. Despite their behavior, God does not give up on His children but prepared ordinary people like you and me to participate in His eternal work in a compromising culture.

A middle-aged man moves back to his hometown in rural Quebec because of his mother's illness. While there he is drawn to the pond where he first learned to play hockey. He remembers Robert, a retired NHLer, who taught him and his friends the rules of the game and by extension, the rules of life. Robert has since passed on, and the pond where they played and the shack where they warmed their frozen hands is derelict. The story is peppered with facts about the development of the pond hockey movement in NA. A middle-aged man moves back to his hometown in rural Quebec because of his mother's illness.

For those who grew up around hockey, it's easy to understand a sentence like, He let loose a howitzer from the hash marks, roofing the puck past the stunned netminder. But for those who have no idea what that means, How to Speak Hockey provides a unique look into Canada's unofficial third language. Even lifelong lovers of the game might just learn a thing or two: - Many hockey fans know about the five hole, but few know that there are seven holes in total - Before the humble rubber puck, people used strange round balls called road apples - Learn the strange and unique origins of common phrases including stood on his head and hat trick - Find out exactly what is meant when a player dipsy doodles through traffic and breaks the ice - In hockey, sometimes a hot dog is not just something you get at the concession stand - Fighting has always been a part of hockey, so it's not surprising that there are so many words to describe it, from a word as innocent as dance to the biggest fight in hockey the bench-clearing brawl. For all those wannabe hockeyists or lifelong rink rats out there, game on!
