Rock em Sock em


If you have never seen, or felt, a professional lacrosse game, you're missing some real action. Our local Calgary Roughnecks beat the snot out of the visiting Swarm last night at the Calgary Saddledome.

These guys wear a face mask and shoulder pads (and I'm guessing, a jock) and that's about it. If you have the ball, they can whack you and hack you with the stick from your waist to your neck. This can often leave the fellas feeling a might irritable. And when they drop the gloves, they're not slip sliding aorund on skates like those mama boy hockey players either.

Go 'necks go!!

Oh yeah they are tough hombres, for sure. Those mamby pamby hockey players could take a few lessons on toughness and how not to retaliate for some of the minor crap they whine about.
Right on, U.C.!!!
