We've done a lot as a team. We've done three European trips, have done a number of Florida palms trips, lake placid and used to play nine tournaments a winter, it dwindled down to four or less in our last few years. Now, we're having trouble attracting players and worst keeping the current roster. Going into September 2013, hoping we can pick up a few players so we stay active for another year or two.

1st ANNUAL GOLF DAY
What a great day we all had! It was hard to complain about hot weather considering all the rain we had. I really didn't care too much whether we played golf or just got together. Certainly the golf was fun as it always is whenever the ball is hit (sometimes) straight.
It was good seeing Mike, Kim and Brian and really glad to hear one of our all time best skaters and goal scorer is coming back to play for us.
Do you ever one of those times where you just wished you had a video camera because words would never describe the moment. Well, listening to Scott tell his bee joke (for me, it was the fourth time hearing it) but this was one of those times where I wish it was recorded. Scott worked his audience, going back and forth amongst the group as if he was some type of evangelist preacher, bending down and speaking directly into your face and then made his way back to the other end. It was a fine piece of work. I would have told him so to but as he oftens does, left without a goodbye but did leave us entertained.
A special thanks to Lee and Dave for putting it on. No matter whenever you have people come over, there is a lot of work in the preparation.
Back to golf, to be honest, I really liked this game especially after seeing some of the scores of my buddies.

TRIPS
Games are played and won or lost but time moves us all forward to look towards another game. We rarely look back at game memories other than in the dressing room or rehashing it over with a few cold ones in a local establishment. However, a trip creates memories forever. Stories are told over and over again.
Here are a few of those stories ...... although others would do it much more justice.
Florida
We've had a few old stories like playing half ice because most of it was melting resulting in Don Simpson breaking his leg as he went throug the ice.
In another tournament in Florida, we played with ten players and after getting throughly beaten in a preliminary game against a police team from Mississauga that wore pink sweaters, we beat them in the final. They were surprised as much as we were.
Another memory was the three amigos; Jim W, Les and Chris all bought the same baggy lined pants and practically wore them all week.
Lake Placid
I might have had too good a time as I can't remember too much other than we lost in the final against an American team. Rosie (Bob Roselle) and Paul McCain played for us.
Vancouver 2000 World's
We played with eight players. Ian, Jim W. Gerry, Gary, Calvin, Chris and I forget who else.
France
Our first European trip. We visited Paris, Nice, played in the Alps. We had kids asking us for autographs.
Central Europe
Mark Grimes "Code Red" is a classic
SPAIN
The rumble in the Pyrennes where a bunch of old hockey players were going to teach an entire bar that you don't steal a beer from a drunken Irishman.
