Yay! Hockey Is Back!

Hi everyone! That’s right, it’s that time of year again. Your favorite team, my favorite team, everyone’s favorite team is back in action to start yet another NHL season, and that makes me very happy! I’m especially excited that since my son has started school, he is absolutely exhausted by 7 o’clock and falls asleep by 7:30, which means I can actually watch almost an entire game now! I know I’m a teacher, and this sounds a little obvious and self-serving, but damn, school is freakin’ great!

Speaking of great, you guys are going to love this brand new article that was sent to me from Pete Manzolillo. I am so sad I didn’t have the information contained in this article while I was doing research for my book. Have you guys ever wondered what happened to all those Cleveland Barons jerseys after the team went belly up? I have to admit I’ve never once thought about that, or for that matter, whatever happened to all those old Kansas City Scouts, Calgary Cowboys, and Hartford Whalers jerseys, but seriously, they must end up somewhere, right? Did they give those things away? Did they incinerate them? Who knows about those three teams, but I can now tell you what happened to the Barons’ old unis, and you can find out too in the articles section. If you prefer to read the article on the website where it is found, you can click here and check out the Uni-Watch.com.

I was wondering what else to post to the site this week. I was thinking about a new Overexposed disaster, but no kidding, as I was writing this entry, I received an e-mail from site subscriber Mark Harris (by the way, a two-time reader of my book! Nice work, Mark, and my compliments too!). Just a few days ago, Mark caught up with former Seals captain Bobby Baun and Seals scoring leader for 1972-73, Walt McKechnie, at a Dave & Busters in Toronto as they were doing a signing with a bunch of other former Maple Leaf greats. Check out Mark’s photos here.

Hope you enjoy the new additions to the site! Until next time, stay gold!
