A while ago I was visiting a friend in Cardiff and on the first night there I ended up talking with a homeless guy. Once he found out where I was from, he began flooding me with his insanely huge knowledge of hockey. Teams, players, years, jersey numbers, winners and losers. I even learned about the The Devils, Cardiff's hockey team.

I don't watch sports unless I happen to be at a bar and it's on so I had nothing to add to the conversation. I don't even know how accurate he was but he spoke with so much passion and confidence, I had no choice but to accept his knowledge as truth.

I hope he's doing okay now. I also hope he gets to travel and see a north American hockey game live. I can't think of any words to describe how happy he would be to have that kind of experience.
