Every Tuesday night we attend the local Junior C game...sometimes we venture a little further down the road when the games are in nearby Amherstview. It does give you a community feel. We just started doing this three years ago and last year we went to Ottawa to see our first NHL game on Jan 2...we ended up going to a playoff game...it was so exciting even though we were in the nosebleed section...still can't watch hockey on tv but love watching it in person.NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411419545912589126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-16005315585159383362010-11-22T10:45:17.773-05:002010-11-22T10:45:17.773-05:00Recently, I posted about the late actor Steve McQu...Recently, I posted about the late actor Steve McQueen quietly visiting The Boys Republic--a reform school that Steve credited with turning his life around. Like the hockey player you mentioned with a heart, Steve was not into photo-ops. Rather, he visited the boys dormitory all day long and listened to many stories and shared from his own life. Iam glad to read about this amazing sports pro who takes the time to give back! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-62388918566492910672010-11-22T10:31:40.576-05:002010-11-22T10:31:40.576-05:00Watch it, I'm a Leafs fan.Watch it, I'm a Leafs fan.fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-84527347590820524022010-11-21T21:07:56.778-05:002010-11-21T21:07:56.778-05:00I have found that minor league teams are great for...I have found that minor league teams are great for communities. I used to be the President of the Booster Club for a local team, and I loved those guys. They were personable, and they played hard while trying to move up to the majors. You're right about the atmosphere being much more of a friendly environment. <br /><br />http://talkativetaurus.blogspot.com/Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912465691969392635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-3235923864930194392010-11-21T20:36:56.887-05:002010-11-21T20:36:56.887-05:00KBF How true.
