The Come Back - Hawks vs Petticodiac



While the result could have been better for the Moncton Peewee Hawks, who came back from a 2 - 0 deficit to tie the game only to lose with 5.5 seconds left, the come back was fast and furious after having been stoned by the Petitcodiac goal tender through two and a half periods. The Hawks already playing with only two lines were down another man when a player was injured early in the game.

Another Minor Hockey Incident

This competitive level minor hockey game is another example of how dangerous the game can be as was the case during a Midget A championship match at the Arthur J. Leblanc Centre in Dieppe. A team from North York had just tied the game when all hell broke loose. While the cross checks to the head and fighting were not bad enough, a linesman fell to the ice and could have easily had a finger(s) sliced by a skate. Had the referees stepped in, regardless of protocol, this situation would most certainly not have gotten out of control to the extent it did. Two guys throwing a couple of punchs in a "helmets and gloves" match is one thing but two handed cross checks, to the back of the head, goes way beyond. While we've come to expect some pushing and shoving around the goalie after whistles in a tight game, mindless attacks cannot be tolerated. With today's mindset around concussions, such incidents ocurring at the professional level result in multi-game suspensions and huge fines. If someone attacked you from behind while you were out for a walk, there would be legal consequences for the offenders. So why then, does such behaviour continue to be tolerated in our national sport at the minor hockey level? One fan, while leaving the rink, looked at me with a grin and said; "this is hockey"! From a guy whose played and watched hockey for nearly 50 years, I strongly disagree! There is no respect in hockey today! I played minor hockey with no face mask or mouth guard until my final year, when a full face protector was mandated. I was known as a rough and maybe even considered by some to be a dirty player at times, but I never incurred a head injury or delivered a blow that resulted in one. A broken wrist, dislocated shoulder and screw in my ankle were all injured I endured from a game that can be rough and tough, yet one that I love.

Neil Mossey: Last Late Show with David Letterman? I remember my first Late Night Dave...

Neil Mossey: Last Late Show with David Letterman? I remember my first Late Night Dave...

Letterman: "Thank You & Good Night!"

Yes, I liked Leno too but Dave was my favourite. Both the good & bad, I think I see a bit of myself in him. My humour is also much kinder these days but I ''mostly' enjoyed his edge back in the day and also that he didn't mind pissing people off to make me laugh. I liked that Dave asked guests the hard questions and respected the fact that he took a stand for what he believed in. Canada's own Paul Shaffer was the perfect side kick whose laugh and mumblings of agreement made even the "not so funny jokes" laughable! Being a night hawk for many years, he was my TV pal that I will miss while everyone else is in the land of dreams.

Kid Rock or Kid Country?

I bought a CD of Kid Rock a few years back thinking that there would be other similar songs to the one inspired me to buy it which was the collaboration with Sheryl Crow on the remake of "the First Cut is the Deepest". The rest of the songs were not even from the same genre. I believe it was an attempt at rap. Today I hear this song on the local rock station thinking I must've made a mistake and turned the channel to the country station. As the song finished and to my surprise, the announcer says; "first kiss by Kid Rock". The song lyrics references Tom Petty and on that note, I'd like to just say to Kid; please leave Tom Petty and "sweet home Alabama" riffs out of your songs because they don't belong. I'm making this all sound like a big deal for my own amusement if you've actually gotten this far. Now, cast your votes & tweets for the Kid to embrace his country style moving forward as "Kid Country"!
