The final hockey match of the 2009-2010 season was today against Fontenay Sous-Bois. The last encounter with Fontenay resulted in 3 goals and 5 points next to my name on the score sheet, and needless to say, I was ready for the last lacing-up of the skates for the year. However, I would have a moment to forget before getting to actually lace up those skates.
While sizing-in my stick before the match, trying to remove a pesky section of tape with scissors, my hand slipped and I quite effectively inserted the scissors into my hand...Sometimes I'm not the brightest crayon in the box... Anyways, I managed to get the bleeding calmed to a minimum and jimmy-rigged a Kleenex and hockey tape bandage. Well, the classic hockey mantra of "it's merely a flesh-wound" pervaded and I decided to play through it anyways. Well, some time later I found that not only had the subsequent slap shots opened up the wound, but I had bled through the bandage and also my hockey glove - not exactly the most anti-bacterial environment. In the locker room following the game, even my teammates recommended a medical visit. In short, that's when you really know you're in trouble - hockey players giving you the "Dude, get that looked at!" medical advice.
So I showered and headed to the local emergency room where they stitched me back up and got me on my way in under 40 minutes.
Keeping life interesting...

Seriously Jamie we need to keep you away from sharp objects. If you aren't slicing yourself with a knife or head butting broken glass, then your stabbing yourself with scissors. And I dont understand the 3 goals and 5 points reference.
"Points" in hockey are goals and assists.
Engineering Math ENGR 436 with Dr. Anderson:
5 - 3 = 2 assists
hahah...i seriously can't remember the class number...was that class with Anderson?...I think I still have redos to finish...what a crazy prof!
Just so you know, I got the 3 goals and 5 points reference...
