It's the most amazing sport in the world, Kenshiro. I've been playing for over 40 years now. It's in my blood and in my soul. It's taken me to places in the world I'd never have visited without it. It paid for college for me. It's difficult for me to properly articulate how much it means to me.
Yes, it does. Now that I'm older, it's hard for me to get out onto the ice as much as I'd like. And though I'm slower and not as agile as I once was...I still love it.
