Lynn's Notes:

In Lynn Lake, all the kids played hockey. I was surprised when Aaron declared his interest in joining the juniors - he had never been interested in sports before. Because there were no sporting goods shops, we all relied on hand me downs and the Sears catalogue. The sports exchange happened in the church basement; you could tell it was happening as soon as you went in the door - just by the smell. Everyone was keen to get there early for the best pickings and if you were lucky, you could make a deal with a neighbor before the season began.
