9:00pm: After dinner talent show.
I've never heard of a "talent show" at a hockey camp but trying to be gracious, I went along with it.
First up, Kid Wock brought tears to the eyes of everyone in attendance as he gave an emotional interpretive reading of Donald Trump's inaugural address from last January.
Next, a kid named "Pauly" showed everyone his ability to stand facing in several positions while balancing on his surfboard, which he had placed on the stage.
He was followed by "Rudy" who could sing the alphabet song backward while dancing the tango by himself.
Next came "Maurice" who impressed everyone with his amazing memory when he named every single roster player for the 1967-68 Oakland Seals. Allegedly, Maurice had a great uncle who served as the clubhouse boy for that season.
"Jonnie-boy" then wowed the crowd as he walked all of us through the proper steps in changing a tire on a 1986 Ford 150 pickup.
Next came a truly surprising act, when the four goalies, (3 of whom had recently been released from the local jail and rushed back to the rink for this part of the program,) all came out and in a barbershop quartet style, sang an amazing version of the "Lumberjack Song."
Finally, "Nathan Knob-Knob" and "Clyde No" debated the virtue of a free market healthcare system versus a universal coverage system in the United States. Both men made good points but in the end, no one knew what the hell to think.
We called it a night and returned to our room. The next morning would be the final scrimmage of the camp, after which everyone would head home.
