I know the real reason why the Leafs franchise was against moving an NHL team to Hamilton.  They were worried that a new team would win the Stanley Cup before them!

Leafs, you’re my home team. I love you guys. I’ve paid a lot of money in the past for seats to the games. But I’m losing faith in you.

I’ve decided that I’m going to have a rally-beard. I’m not going to shave until the Leafs win 1 game in the regular season. I haven’t shaved since October 8. I guess the beard is better than what some people do during playoffs – not changing or washing their socks or shirts – gross AND stinky!

Anyways, if anyone wants to see me clean shaven, it looks like it’s going to be in a few weeks at this rate!

I would say the biggest problem lies with personality conflicts, and those disturbances between just a couple of players is what brought down the moral across the board.

As for me, I feel that I did as well as I could have. I got many RBI’s, lots of hits, and made many great plays.

I finished off the season going 4 for 5, and bringing in 5 RBI’s. My last at bat I pounded the ball over the outfielder and made it to the fence – 2 RBI’s and a standing double.

So as the story goes, I’m now a free agent, and I’m being scouted by 2 other leagues. 1 is in Thornhill, and the other in Toronto.

I’ll have to weigh the options, and make my decision fairly soon. At the moment, I’m leaning towards the Thornhill league – but who knows..

‘Green Machine’ won their  first game of the second round by a massive 9-4 victory. I had a great goal – picked up the puck on a drop-pass, held it and slapped it in the top corner, from  25-ft out and through a crowd of 8 players.  I also managed to get two assists. Go #9!

Congrats team, and on to game 2 next week.

Congratulations to everyone on the team – Tony, Justin, Michelle, and myself.

GO TEAM GO!

7th Annual Golf Tournament Champions!

Although the official score has yet to be released, the game sheet ran out of room for the other teams goals.  We estimate that the final score was 18-1.  On a positive note, I’m the reason they didn’t get a shut out! So far, I’ve got two goals in two games!

It was good to get back on the ice…

The last two games we played them ended in 2-2 ties. So this is sure to be a great match.

The last time we played them, I ended up taking a slash in the forearm and a highstick to the chin that nearly took off my helmet.

Wish us luck!

My original goal of $250 was completely smashed, and so I’ve upped it to $450.

Right now, I’ve raised $395!!! It’s so close to the goal… I’m hoping that anyone reading this will feel generous and help me surpass the $450 mark.
