| Ty plays both-he's a running back but says way more action in hockey. No running out of bounds on the ice lol. When you figure that an average atom player can skate as fast as the world's fastest man can run. Emily won the skills contest-she's a 9 year old girl and she was skating right around 20 m.p.h. When you add in a puck that getting shot at 100 mph and 10 athletes on the ice you can see where football pales as far as speed goes. He does like running over guys with the ball though lol.

Figured I would get a response from you NR. Actually I have never played hockey so I really cant say. I guessing you need more "wind" playing hockey. I would probably duck for cover everytime the puck was shot my way to!
I was lucky enough to play football. Got some money from the school to play it in college. Opened some doors for jobs out of college. Make lots of great friends that way. (Hard on knees and ankles though!)

| What part of South Dakota are you from-I've run around that Belle Fourche country a little bit from time to time. Football is a great sport too-Ty's trouble is he's just good enough at hockey, football and rodeo that there are conflicts for his time. I never had that p[roblem when I was his age lol.

TTB, between school, 4H, trying to live in two places, and having time for friends, I dont think that there is much more room for hockey. lol.
We have to factor in everything, I always wanted to play when I was a kid, and I still kind of do, but not enough to justify it.
I am getting a job to pay for a sled, and Im only home for half the summer. lol. I show cattle the first week, go to a wilderness camp the second week, holiday the third, and start working the fourth till school starts.
Besides, with dad farming 4000 acres and grandpa's hip replacement coming up again (other one this time) I don't think Ill even get a ride into town.
IL and NR, I think I know what you mean about not doing stuff, when my grandpa (on my mom's side) passed away a few years ago, I regretted not spending as much time with him as possible.
NR, I went to the mountains once, it was a great time, we visited the greg's, saw the ice fields, and met up with dad's highschool buddy, Bomber. We usually go on one bigger trip instead of a bunch of smaller ones.
Ive only been to one concert, going to be two may 16, and I was supposed to go in july again, but I have commitments for that week already.
Fulton, I like a little bit of football, but then that is enough, I'd much rather be breakign a steer, fishing with my dad, or sharing the woods with some family, friends, and the LORD.
