The Bush
I came across a book recently, Alaska from A-Z. There are many funny and true definitions in there but the first one I looked at was in the B's
Bunny Boots
Bunny boots, also known as vapor barrier boots, are white, insulated footwear designed to protect feet in sub-zero temperatures. They take their name from the Arctic hare, which has large hind feet and a white winter coat.
The Bush
Originally used to describe large expanses of wilderness inhabited by trappers and miners, now "the Bush" is generally considered to mean any part of Alaska inaccessible by road. A community accessible only by air, water, sled or snow machine transportation is considered a bush village. The Bush is home to many of Alaska's Native people and to many Alaskans who live on homesteads, operate mines or work as guides, pilot, trappers or fishermen.
The term "Bush" has been applied to the small planes their pilots who service areas that lack roads or developed airports. Bush planes are commonly equipped with floats or skis, depending on the terrain and season.
Alaska and Ontario are very similar indeed, except for the mountains! I am glad to not have those in my area I fly!

Manitoba Rednecks 2011
Spring in Canada can be long depending on the weather, hockey is over and there is lots of energy to be burned off. It is kind of funny to see my nephews doing the exact same things my brothers and I used to do, crazy stuff that could possibly end up disastrous but are so much fun!!
The weather has been so sunny and warm. The last storm went south of us again as it has much of the winter so spring has gotten off to a good start, lets hope it stays nice.

Champs!!
It was a roller coaster season for our Bantam Hockey team. Made up of 14 boys and 4 girls aged 13 and 14 year olds. Our season got off to a less than stellar start winning only one and tying one in our first 9 league games and were in 9th place in a 10 team league. Many of those losses should have been wins but we made many mistakes which ended up in our net. Then after the X-mas break we had to play the top 2 teams right away! 2 more loses. There was many positives in those loses as I could see we were gaining confidence. Since the 2 losses in early January we did not lose another game! Beating every placed team, 7 straight wins to finish the season in 6th place. The league then split into 2 divisions, A and B. We then had to complete 2 best of 3 game series to claim the league banner. Half of the players on our team have never won a championship while the other half winning only one in their short hockey careers. It is fulfilling to see how they have all improved and grown as hockey players throughout the last 5 months.
Here is my daughter Maija and my nephew Trent with the banner we worked so hard to win!
In the playoffs, we continued our winning ways, taking both series 2 games straight. Here is our 2010/2011 Interlake Bantam Regional Champs!
Here is Trent, having a seat in a place I have spent hundreds of hours in.....The Penalty Box!!!!
Only a few exhibition games left and that will be it for this season of hockey. Just like deer season, when it is over, you begin looking forward to next season!!!
