Definition:
A way of saying goodbye, see you later. Keep cool, keep it going, stay well.
Usage:
"Well, I'd better get back to work."
"Okay, well, keep your stick on the ice."
Explanation:
This Canadianism comes from the game of hockey. Here are three reasons why it is so important to keep your stick on the ice
- Tip-ins: Many goals are scored this way.
- Availability: In order for a player to receive a pass from his teammate, he needs to support the puck carrier as best he can with his stick on the ice.
- Turn-overs: To be a good transitional team, you need to create turn-overs as much as possible allows for a better scoring opportunity.
Remember … keep your stick 'on the ice' and good things will happen! Be sure to work hard at this in practice and you'll begin to see the results when it really counts during your games.
Trivia:
This phrase was popularized by the cult hit TV show "The Red Green Show."
