| Game over London, ON April 2026 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
The good guys were down 3-1 in their best-of-seven playoff series, so a loss would have eliminated them and ended their season.
Which is exactly what happened. They were simply outplayed, the 4-0 score telling only part of the story of a team that just didn’t have it that night.
Fans headed for the exits early, the stands almost half empty by the time the clock ticked down to zero. Side note: I’ll never understand why people leave early. Win or lose, it’s always an experience to be there. Maybe I’m weird.
Anyway, we hung in for the handshake, the sad skate across the ice, the thank you to the fans for another season of support.
And that’s what I’ll remember from this night, that poignant moment when it all ended, watching some of these teenaged players play their last-ever game in uniform. It wasn’t the victory we all wanted, but it was a moment that mattered all the same, on the ice as well as off.
We were among the last to leave the building, the melancholy spirit of the night sticking with us as we exited into the cold night air.
Life doesn’t always fit neatly into the win-lose column. Yet it still tells us stories worthy of being remembered. If, that is, we choose to stick around to hear them.
