Last night six Rochester American hockey players dropped by our center to play a little Kan Jam with our teens in the Al Sig Center gym. Each teen was assigned an Amerk as a teammate and the fun began. Most of the guys, who had never played Kan Jam--might possibly be hooked on this simple 'yard' game now. Afterwards the guys snacked on some ice cream and other goodies with teens and their families and chatted briefly, answering questions that even reporters never get to ask. Off the record, of course.These guys were just 'class acts'- truly connecting with the teens and families in a way that shows that these tough guys love to play nice. I want to thank Rory Fitzpatrick for allowing us to have some time with these fa...

Here’s my 2c worth. 1. Malcolm Turnbull lost my remaining respect for him when he publicly sabotaged Joe Hockey on the weekend. It’s clear Turnbull has virtually no chance of remaining leader so why pre-emptively criticise the one person who might be a succesful leader who actually agrees somewhat with Turnbull’s position on the ETS? Turnbull’s loyalty only seems to be to himself rather than the good of his party. 2. Joe Hockey is my favourite person in the Liberals. He seems like a nice, smart guy with sensible opinions on things and he’s a Christian as well. I do feel sorry for him though because he...

Canada’s CBC Sports reports that the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks followed a similar sleep strategy this season.The results for both teams were positive. The Blazers took a 54-28 record into the first round of the playoffs. The Canucks finished the regular season 45-27-10. Then they swept the St. Louis Blues out of the playoffs in four games.The Canucks were 3-0 on the road in the playoffs before losing in Chicago on Thursday. Now their series with the Blackhawks is tied at two games each. Has sleep been their secret weapon this season?Each player’s sleep was monitored early in the season. Then the team’s sleep doctor made recommendations for flight times, practice times a...

I’ve never seen any organized group, such as PETA, to fight against this horrendous tradition. What!, nobody care for the poor cephalopods? Imagine what would happen if the Pittsburgh Penguins decided to throw a dead penguin on the ice to get the crowd fired-up? Why a cephalopod doesn’t have the same status of a bird?

But she did more than that ... she started up Puck Cancer, a cleverly-named organization that raises money for cancer and families affected by it through tournaments, the sale of mechandise and more. The women participating in the tournament are pitted against each other, but yet united in their ultimate goal -- shutting out cancer. Two Puck Cancer tournaments have been held so far, with another one coming up in early August. To find out more about supporting the cause, visit the Puck Cancer website. And, as the ladies at Puck Cancer say, thank... The Cancer Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=629101 Mon, 21 May 2007 04:00:00 +0100 629101
