#78 Ice Hockey
Like many Canadians, Chris loves hockey. He talks about his favorite sport.
Todd: OK, Chris, Friday the 13th is coming up. So, first of all, are you superstitious?
Chris: Yes. When I play sports I'm superstitious. I have a lucky shirt and stuff like that.
Todd: Oh, really!
Chris: Yeah.
Todd: So what's your lucky shirt?
Chris: It's a bungy jumping shirt that I got about 10 years ago. It's all falling apart but it's still my lucky shirt.
Todd: OK, So you don't wash it or anything?
Chris: If I have a good game I don't wash it until I have a bad game and then I wash the badness out.
Todd: OK. What sport are we talking about?
Chris: I play ice hockey.
Todd: Oh, really.
Chris: Yeah.
Todd: Oh, so your a hockey player! Your a pretty solid guy.
Chris: Yeah, I'm a goalie. Being a goalie it's a lot to being comfortable in the position, so if you have a good game you don't touch anything. You do the same routine. Goalies are known to be a little strange.
Todd: Wow. So that's cool. Are you still playing in Japan?
Chris: I've played a few times but it's just too much trouble to drag my equipment on three trains and a taxi and about a 800 meter walk. It's just not worth it right now. If I had a car I'd try for sure.
Todd: Oh, that's too bad. Alright, well, good luck and...so right now is your shirt dirty of clean? Your unlucky shirt?
Chris: It's just been washed. Yeah, it needed a good washing this time.
