Todays General Meeting was beyond awesome. The meeting started with a few dates that you might want to know and participate in. First date is the Kids unlimited christmas party on December 11th. Everyone is invited and feel free to bring gifts for the kids. They range in age from infant to 18 year olds. The second date is the feed the team on the 16th of november. If you can attend this meeting please email me for details on this meeting at Gftomball@yahoo.com.
Also at todays meeting was peter Zingoni. I will be the first to tell you that this meeting was one of the best meetings for information and laughs I have ever been to. Zingoni starts the talk with a little background of his life and how he became a hockey player. He grew up in connecticut where one of his family members was dating a goalie from the local team. He became enthralled in the sport of hockey and began to skate just for fun. He also reveled that at the age of six he began his first travel team with someone every aeros fan knows....... Jon DiSalvatore. He started his hockey career over seas in Germany and Finland. He then played for the Philadelphia phantoms where he met is wife, Bernadet. from there he could not make his way to Houston fast enough for us aeros fans.
Last year Zingoni at the very end of the year got hit in the groin area with a puck after a magnificent block in San antonio. It healed well...... or so he thought. Over the summer his leg and groin area began to hurt making it unbearable fast, and causing his leg to swell to twice its size. He went to the Hospital there in Philly where he was told he had a blood clot in his groin area down to his calf. He has been taking some blood thinners and getting recouped for this seasons start which he estimates to be around the beginning of december.
Here are two cool facts about zingoni that i bet you did not know. 1st - he has played all his hockey games with no socks on since the age of 6. and 2nd - he has his own camp in connecticut teaching kids the skills and skating techniques of hockey.
If you missed the meeting you missed a good one, but don't miss the november meeting or you may just have to catch up on this blog once again.
