I’m not sure how it happened, but an image from my blog is now one of the top results for the Google image search for goalie skates. All but two of the higher results are from e-tailers.

Those skates were my first pair, and they have served me well over the past few years. I have no intention of getting rid of them anytime soon. Still, time has taken its toll. Compare the original photo of my goalie skates, taken when they were new, with a photo from today. So many puck marks, so many memories.
