If you’ve known me for a while or read a number of my posts here on substack you may know that playing hockey is one of my absolute favorite things to do with my time. I love every part of it. The camaraderie with other guys. The chance to put my phone down and focus 100% of my attention on something without distraction. It’s also far better to get exercise in a way that lets you not realize you’re doing it. It’s great to chase a ball around or skate to where the pick is theoretically going to be than to simply go for a run. Running is terrible. Mentally I feel great when I’m done, that’s probably just the cardio talking but for me it’s become a spiritual practice. Recently I feel like I can hear God more loudly in this process than just about anywhere else in my current rhythms.
