from Garth Woolsey of the Toronto Star,
“He made a tape-to-tape pass then turned around and tapped his tormentor, who turtled.”
Makes perfect sense – if you’re a Canadian hockey fan. If not, you may need The Complete Hockey Dictionary, which has sport-specific definitions for tape-to-tape, tap, turtle and every other term that prolific Ontario-based author Andrew Podnieks could uncover.
The book is available at Amazon.

I can speak both English and Canadian. Yay! I’m bilingual! Time to add that additional skill to my resume.
