Ice Hockey, Golf and hiking

I have been playing Hockey since I was 3 years old and still play today. Golf is something I picked up later in life and enjoy a nice round of golf, being outside with friends. Hiking is a very recent Hobby nothing to crazy but truly enjoy being outside with friends, family or taking our dog along.
