Outside the
Cowichan Valley Capitals dressing room- "Hammer of the game"?! Wait just a darn minute Mr. Currie!

old score clock at the post game meal at Kane's Sports Bistro in Powell River. One of the coolest places in the league.

The one, the ONLY Jamie Amos, geared up at the age of 10 on the frozen backyard pond in Vancouver.

I was impressed when I walked in Boston Pizza and saw the Dogs painting and signed sweater.


Martin Mars
Waterbomber- VERY COOL.

Later during our dinner
BP a.k.a Bryant Perrier stopped by to grab a bite with friends. I just had to take a picture of "
BP at
BP's"

I got this great Christmas Present from my cousin Daryn in Oliver....
Ok, so what the heck am I supposed to do with a
VEES mug?
haha. Thanks for thinking of me Darren :)

Now, onto my pucks. It's a humble collection, but it's cool because most pucks have a story. Below are my two Bulldog pucks. On the left is an autographed inaugural season puck- signed by Tyler
Ruel- courtesy of the BIG DOG Les
Doiron. On the right, another Dogs puck given to me by Rob Thompson from
JAL DESIGNS and Graphics. Rob and staff designed the alternate logo, on the reverse side. See below.

zoomed up to see the autograph a bit better

reverse of other puck.

My two World Juniors pucks. I picked the one from '06 up myself when we went over for opening day. Brent Paul from Port
Alberni's Double R Meats picked up the 07 puck when he attended the tournament in Sweden. He even pulled strings to get me a puck from this year's tourney. I sure hope his friends in
Pardubice got me one!

Given to me during warm-up by my friend
Jordin Tootoo, former
OCN Blizzard (more on them below) when we went over to a Nashville vs Vancouver game at GM place( in 04-05 if I remember correctly.)

Hosting an autograph session for
Jordin and Terence
Tootoo at a Sports Store in The Pas/
OCN after
Jordin was drafted by the Nashville Predators.

Signed by Bobby Hull- Thanks again to the BIG DOG for this beauty.

I picked this one up during a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto this summer. Just had to have a white puck to shake it up.

Just plain Hockey
Canada baby.

Huge thanks to RONNIE for getting this for me in London last week when he attended the World U17 Challenge. You are a beauty Ronnie!

Junior Hockey Prep Camp Port
Alberni. Picked this up in the stands at the rink in the summer.

My sister Erin got this one for me when she visited Madison Square Garden in 2001.

Pucks from one of the other teams I
broadcasted for/worked for, the
OCN Blizzard. I was there through parts of 99 to 2003.

Pucks from the two Royal Bank Cup tournaments I attended- 2001 in my home town of Flin
Flon, Manitoba, where I did the play-by-play of the Western reps, the
Weyburn Red Wings of the
SJHL. I attended the 2002 tournament in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, where I did the play-by-play for all
OCN Blizzard games.

Kinda funny, two of my good trainer buddies-
Hilty and Matty- both got married, both had puck centrepieces.

The hometown club, my
alma matter, my fathers former club, the Flin
Flon Bombers on the left. I got my play-by-play start there in 1997 and did games there parts of 97-99. The Williams Lake
TimberWolves puck was given to me by someone- (Stephen
Pattison, Preston Charles, Matt
Auerbach?) when the Dogs played in Williams Lake.
