Habs move on, sweet Wheat Kings jerseys, Relay for Life Fundraiser...Alberni Golf Club Update...Rotary Hole in One Contest...

Just plain WOW. Who would have thought it? ME, of course. Besides that, I'm not sure who! I picked the Habs in 6 this round. So what, I was off by a round. I don't think anyone gave the Habs more than 1 game in this series. Or the last one either. Goaltending. Incredible fan support. Players with heart and experience. It's something to watch isn't it?

GO HABS GO.

The Brandon Wheat Kings will be wearing these sweet commemorative jerseys in the Memorial Cup (they are the host team) which opens tomorrow.

Don Cherry and Ron McLean showed them off last night on Coaches Corner. The jerseys will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Dominion Command Poppy Trust Fund, which supports veterans and their families.
