So we invent the game andwhammo! you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energ
35、ies that we dont allow ourselves elsewhere. “ says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form of saying, “Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. “ “Im talking about something larger than what happens on the
