I have never broken any bones. But I did roll my ankle really bad once playing street hockey, and missed a baseball game. I think that was the only baseball game I ever missed. I almost missed a second one when I went camping with my Aunt and Uncle. We met NHL goalie Ron Tugnutt, as he was an acquaintance of theirs. He invited us back to his cottage for a BBQ. I had been camping with my aunt and uncle for several days and did not want to miss my baseball game, so I declined. Not going to Ron Tugnutt's cottage BBQ remains one of my few life-regrets. #TrueStories
