| From the south or west, get to the 110 going north into downtown LA. Take the “6th St/9th St” exit toward “Downtown/Convention Center”, and go 0.7 miles. Then follow the signs for “3rd St” for about one-half mile, and turn left at West 3rd/Miramar Street. Follow Miramar over the 110, through a slight left bend onto 3rd Street, and then take the third right turn onto Lucas Street. Take the first right onto Emerald Street and LFH after driving a hundred yards or so around a couple of bends in the road. Park on either side of the street.

| Why, you may ask, is the theme of this hash a 35-year old movie about minor-league hockey?
1. Check out the clips on You Tube (also in French (well, Quebecois, anyhow) for Le Petit Oui Oui, et. al.). Full of drunkenness and debauchery, eh?
2. A reason to goof on our local hashers who hail from “The Great White North”, eh? Plus, on the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...a beer.
3. Assault and battery is punished in hockey by sitting in a box for two minutes. And as our Brit hashers all know, Dec 26 is “Boxing Day”. QED, eh?
So it’s your chance to “get oot – and aboot” during the holidays, “take off” to hit the ice at two different locations in beautiful downtown LA, see how many signs you can spot with Norq-like names, such as “Ice”, “Moose” and “Maple” (the holy trinity of the Frostback “culture”, eh?), and sample genuine Canuck food and beverages (a/k/a strange brew), eh?
In line with that theme, the on on on will be at a place with the cheapest beer in the hood (Florida hashers like Retracted will recall that the “Je me souviens” on the Quebec license plate translates as “We don’t tip”, eh?), where you also can put vinegar all over your french fries, eh?
Special recognition for Hoser. Bring your eh game. Beauty. |
