Seen yesterday in a display at Deuville's Rink in Truro, a team I had not heard of, the Madawaska Valley Lumber Kings. Any idea what level of hockey this team plays/played?

It's icy-sidewalk days like today in #Halifax/#Halisky that make me kinda regret not buying these boots when I saw them in #Reykjavik #Iceland back in 2018. (half-joking)

Photowise, my 2024 was a year with plenty of #rollerderby and women's hockey (as per usual) but I also branched out a bit with some Aussie Rules Football and some Historical Fencing. #halisky #derbysky

Well, folks of #Halifax / #Halisky, it was a terrifying encounter I tell ya. I'm lucky to be alive. Thank you for sparing me, #Dalhousie Tigers #mascot. I mean, it's no @woodyxmastree.bsky.social but then again, what is?

Lately I've also been getting reacquainted with the NSWHL (Nova Scotia Women's Hockey League). An adult league, with 5 divisions ranging from competitive to recreation. My two fave jerseys I seen so far are Mayhem (Recreation division) and the Puck Honeys (Intermediate B division).
