The Ballad of the Tosslecap

Let's take a little break to hear a tale of the tosslecap. On the last day of last year's pond hockey trip, as we were packing up for the drive back to the airport, Kent's custom made teal "tosslecap" (as Mac calls it) disappeared. A the time, Kent was certain that Mac was the culprit. Unpleasantries were exchanged that continued to be a sore spot in locker room discussions for the entire year following the trip. Just prior to the first game, while we were in the warming tent, putting on our gear, Mac reaches into his bag and low and behold (and with much snickering), pulls out a teal tosslecap. now, some conspiracy theorists have suggested that the hat in question is not, in fact, the original hat, but a craftily skilled replica, perhaps even made by the one and only Melanie Northcote, the creator of the one of a kind keepsakes. Now, on to the ironic part. During the trip, Mac's own tosslecap went missing. Coincidence? I'll let the blog's faithful readers decide.
