Hi everyone! This update comes a bit later than usual because I wanted it to be worded just perfectly, and I didn’t have all that much time this week to put it all together. Also, I won’t be around much from Wednesday to Sunday this week due to family spending a few days with us, so I won’t have any time to post anything knew until the first week of October. We should have ourselves a great time though because we will be heading to Carp Fair this weekend, and the little one will sleep a baby for about two days straight, which is aces in my book! For those of you who don’t live near Ottawa, which is probably ALL of you, Carp is a small town outside the Nation’s Capital and so Carp Fair is not some sort of fish fest. Nothing wrong with fish fests, mind you, but we just aren’t going to be going to any.

This week, folks, we’re going to the fights! We’ve got all sorts of people chucking knuckles and making life miserable for another person on skates. In the articles section, a great feature about the great Carol Vadnais from the Oakland Tribune‘s Ed Levitt. Some of his editorials were among my favorites when I was doing research for my book, so you should go check this one out over in the articles section.

I’m also very excited to present, for the first time in a year, a brand new induction into the Hockey Hall of Shame! If there are any fight fans out there, you will definitely want to take a stroll down the hallowed hall to learn about one of the most memorable round of fisticuffs in NHL history. I am here to give you the play-by-play, or in this case, the blow-by-blow in this latest video induction!

Until next time, stay gold!
