hockeyville88 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm watching the Hometown Hockey crew set up for the weekend festivities right now and it's pretty funny. Nothing is staying upright and none of their tarps are staying on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
