Meaning of Home

To me home means being with my teammates Whether it's a practice or a game I'm still with the people I love. It could be brand new skates or just freshly sharpened. It could be a new jersey number or the same number it's been since forever. Being home is the arena. Having a $3 concession poutine after a winning game or doing stupid stuff in our gear. It could be a dressing room dance party before a big game. It could be hanging out with my teammates in the hotel at a tournament. It could be everyone laughing at you because you fell trying to score the winning goal. For me Ringette is home.
