My thanks to Ron Paulson for giving me a heads up on the 2008 CIS Men's Hockey Championships, on now in Moncton, NB.

Former Bulldogs Stephen Pattison and Trevor Selin suit up for the Brock Badgers, and 2003-2004 Cowichan Valley Capital goalie Kevin Lachance is on the Moncton roster.
Go Badgers!!
Happy 60th today to Bobby Orr. I feel cheated for never being able to watch him play live.
Cool stuff here-
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - The score indicated a defeat for Canadian soldiers, but their sweaty smiles said otherwise.
Hundreds of spectators turned out today to watch Canadian troops grapple with a team of visiting former NHLers in spirited game of ball hockey at Kandahar Airfield.
With the Stanley Cup on display, Team Canada routed the soldiers 9 to 2, but there were no long faces when it was over as the two teams exchanged back-slaps and autographs.
The team of NHL old-timers included former Toronto Maple Leafs Chris Hutchison and Mike Gartner, two-time Cup winner Mark Napier and notorious enforcer Bob Probert.
Gen. Rick Hillier, Canada's chief of defence staff, and Brig.-Gen. Guy Laroche, the commander of Canadian forces in Afghanistan, both joined the soldiers for the first period of play.
Tonight, troops will take in a concert featuring Canadian country-rockers Blue Rodeo, Montreal's Jonas Tomalty, Newfoundland's Lori Anna Reid and singer-songwriter Gregg Lawless.
