Hey folks. It's been a busy holiday season, what with the end of the semester and then a lengthy education/vacation/what-have-you to Israel (fun fact: my local rink, The Gardens Ice House at Laurel, has more registered players (1300+) and ice sheets (3) than the entire nation of Israel (500 players, 1 sheet)).
In a day or two a real article will be posted, but to get 2010 started off right we've got another entry into the hockey lexicon.
This one comes courtesy of Pascal Leclaire and the rest of the Ottawa Senators via Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun and I actually read it first in The Peerless Prognosticator's preview for tonight's Capitals-Ottawa game.
The word is Princess Day, and it's something the Caps are actually fairly familiar with. When Alexander Semin or Mike Green take a day off from practice because of bumps and bruises and call it a 'maintenance day,' well the Sens call that taking a Princess Day.
To be fair players on the Senators, and every other team, take them as well, but their term makes it clear how some players view the practice.
