A 17-member Canadian expedition to Mt. Everest this month will attempt to set two records. Team members will play hockey on the Khumbu glacier, on the world's highest mountain, in honour of the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the U.S.S.R. And team leader, Dr. Sean Egan, 62, of Almonte, Ont. will attempt to be the oldest Canadian to scale the famous Himalayan peak.

Next year I have module called 'Extreme Astrophysics'. I'm looking forward to doing astrophysics at the top of Mt. Everest. :)

I saw the thread title and thought: Man, I'd think hockey's hard enough sober!

Reminds me of that USA snowboarder who they took away his Olympic gold medal because he tested positive for marijuana. Then they gave it back to him because marijuana isn't a performance enhancing drug. I still think they should have given him a second medal. Ba-dum-bum.
