SWEATER DAY

Today is "Wear Your Jersey to School Day" in these United States, part of an innitiative from USA Hockey called "Hockey Week Across America".

Its an attempt to raise the games awareness in the States and will also include "Bring a Friend to the Rink Day" tomorrow, and "Local Hockey Hero Day" on Sunday.

Many of you may be hockey neophytes and a bit apprehensive about stepping out and "showing your colors" so to speak. Never fear, Razor is here to offer ideas for you to embrace as you hug the game of hockey this weekend.

1. Wear Your Jersey to School Day
(I encourage you to wear your Stars frock but please remember to "tie-down". When you spot a Red Wing, Duck or Shark jersey ask that student if he or she "wants to go?" Then proceed to feed em the 5 knuckle meat soother as you tug that jersey over their head and proceed to beat them like a dusty rug. This will work best if you have Barch, Downey, Hatcher, or Churla on the name bar)

2. Bring a Friend to the Rink Day
(Any member of the cast will do. Chandler is probably the most interested in the game but Joey could be more fun and I bet he'd be a good glass pounder. Leave the other guy, that woosy, I forget his name, Adam or Simon or something, doesn't matter, just leave him at home.

Hold on, what am I thinking, bring one of the chicks! But not Pheobe. Pheobe is a dunce and would annoy the crap out of you, so not her. Bring one of the other two. Either Monica or Brad Pitts' ex would provide strong to very strong arm candy, and the frigid temp in the rink could produce some "mamorable" visual enhancements. I suggest the Aniston girl as your #1 pick.)

3. Local Hockey Hero
(This should be a salute to Dallas Morning News columnist and former Stars beat-writer, Tim Cowlishaw who continues to champion the sport during his appearances on ESPN's critically acclaimed and socially relevant "Around The Horn". His work pulling quotes and insight from stodgy, Belichik-esque Ken Hitchcock during those halcyon days of the late 90s helped explode the game of hockey here on the banks of the frozen Trinity. (Thank you Galloway).

So find a way to enjoy the game of redline-blueline this weekend as it gets draped in Red, White and Blue.
