So Far, So Good

The Canadian women's hockey team (with our niece Colleen Sostorics playing defense) has started off very strongly at the Olympics. They've defeated Italy 16-0 and Russia 12-0. So far the games seem to be scheduled at less than primetime hours, so it's fortunate for me that I'm not anxious to watch them. I can't stand hockey, but I can bring myself to read about the games that Colleen's been in after they're over. I know I'm missing out on a lot of the nuances, though. What on earth is a hat trick? Apparently Hayley Wickenheiser and Caroline Ouellette achieved this in the game against Italy. I gather congratulations are in order for having done hat tricks, so good for them!
