Oh- and then there’s a quick three day journey to the Banff area by the Flames to help you focus on the start of the hockey season coming up on Saturday.
Day ONE was spent golfing or fishing, then today it was back to work on the ice at the Fenlands Sports Complex where you could just see the relaxed faces on the players, knowing that the season is just around the corner. They’ll wrap things up on Wednesday with another on-ice session before heading back to the city.
Also great to see all the kids turn up… I don’t ever remember ever getting time off school to go and watch a hockey practice… however it was a field trip to remember. Some of the players made sure they had a great and memorable day. Coach Brent Sutter certainly took the time to sign plenty of autographs and make sure that the fans left with a smile.
Saw NHL hockey legend and long time classy guy Garry Unger at the skate today… not sure what he’s doing up here, but I plan on tracking him down tomorrow for a short interview. His appearance had many of us ‘older’ media guys harkening back to a time where the St Louis Blues were a feared hockey team on the NHL circuit. Google it.
That’s it for tonight… looking forward to a new day.
All I have to do now is shut the damn window since those lonely bull elk on the prowl are finally starting to annoy me. Shut up already!!!!
I'm outta here!
