Back from the long weekend (although I didn’t travel anywhere) and getting ready to head out for a business trip to Vancouver, BC, for the next few days…
The weekend was pretty jam packed with a trip to the zoo on Saturday, driving range on Sunday AM followed by the Memorial Cup Final, golf early Monday [...]
Back…and then gone again…
Ready for a sunny, long weekend…
I’m taking the weekend off to enjoy the sunshine and get ready for the summer crunch…
I will watch the Memorial Cup Final on Sunday with the Kelowna Rockets looking to become the third straight WHL team to bring home the Cup, against either Windsor or Drummondville. Will four days off between the last game in [...]
Pouliot Signs With Winterhawks…
From www.winterhawks.com…
The Portland Winterhawks have announced the signing of defenseman Derrick Pouliot (pronounced Poo-lee-ott), the top overall draft choice in last month’s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.
Pouliot, a native of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, will take part in the team’s prospect camp in Calgary in June, and will join the Winterhawks [...]
Rockets in Good Position…
The Kelowna Rockets are in a good position, despite having played just one game at the 2009 Memorial Cup in Rimouski, Quebec. They are 1-0 after knocking off the host Oceanic on Friday night.
Now, after having two nights off, they will take on the Drummondville Voltijeurs, the QMJHL Champs tonight.

At #5 was Portland’s Ty Rattie…
A lot can happen between now and June 2011, but it was [...]
Catching Up…
First off, congrats to the Kelowna Rockets for rebounding in Game 6 on home ice and defeating the Calgary Hitmen and advancing to the Memorial Cup in Rimouski.
The Rockets peaked at the right time and surprised pretty much every one with their run over the Hitmen.
Kelowna will look to bring home the Cup for the [...]
Space: The Final Frontier…
No, I’m not talking about the new Star Trek movie…
The Winterhawks (one word) announced today that the space between the Winter and Hawks has “retired” and it will just be Winterhawks moving forward.
The Hawks office staff started this off by posting comments on their Twitter site and cryptic messages on Facebook late yesterday afternoon.
Lame, yeah…but [...]
Hitmen Respond…
I just might have to watch Game 6 on Saturday…
Just when it seemed predestined that the Kelowna Rockets would roll over the Calgary Hitmen in the WHL Final after winning Games 1 through 3, the real Hitmen have stood up and have dominated the last two games to make it a 3-2 Final.
It takes 16 [...]
Rocket Fuel…
Well, to pretty much everyone’s surprise, the Kelowna Rockets are one home ice win away from sweeping the Calgary Hitmen in the WHL Final and moving on to the Memorial Cup in Quebec.
The final series, while I haven’t watched any of it, seems to be a bit of a let down after some tremendous earlier [...]
