Today was a bad day in the world of hockey. Well, at least it was from my point of view. Not only did Team Canada get eliminated from the Olympic tournament by Russia, but later that evening, my team got crushed 17-0 by a local Morioka High School team. No, that was not a typo. That was a seventeen. It was not the best way to end my hockey season. To top things off, I also sustained an upper thigh injury during the game. Nothing ruins a Canadian’s day more than telling him or her that their national team just got ousted. At least for now, we have the champion women’s team to show the men how it’s done. Mind you, it would be nice if countries other than Canada, America and Sweden treated women’s hockey like a real sport. Then the tournament wouldn’t seem to lopsided.
In other news, I have a job interview on Monday for another teaching gig that would start shortly after my JET contract ends. I’ll be sure to let you all know how that goes. I’m very keen on remaining in Japan for at least two more years. I can’t get enough of this country.
