Have you guys seen this?

I think this is almost exactly what P.C. did last year to injure Seabass.

This is from Colin Chaulk

Hello Everyone,
 
I am sure you all know by now that I am the Hockey Director at McMillen.  I just wanted to let everyone know what exactly my role is and what to expect from me as the Hockey Director. 

House League:
Shaun Andring and myself are in charge of the house league, Nancy Lamothe has also helped us a great deal. I will be in the building during house league as much as the Komet schedule permits me.  I know there needs to be some changes, ex, clock running, weekend games...we are working to find a solution.

10 commandments for starting a new team

I thought about running this in the paper as a story sometime, but I think it works better here. These are the 10 commandments plus one I've learned from being around a minor league team for 20 years. Take this list for what it's worth. You might even want to add to it.

Congrats to Lumberjacks

They are celebrating the 50th anniversary of pro hockey in Muskegon this Saturday. Only Hershey, Pa., Springfield, Mass., and Fort Wayne have lasted as long.

Muskegon has won 10 championships over that time and reached the finals 17 times. Among the things the Lumberjacks will do to celebrate this season are retiring Jock Callander's No. 15 and Dave Michayluk's No. 27, adding to Moose Lallo's No. 2, Lynn Margarit's No. 5, Joe Kastelic's No. 6, Gary Ford's No. 9, Bryan McLay's No. 12, Bob Tombari's No. 15, Scott Feasby's No. 20 and Scott Gruhl's No. 24.

OK, here's my prediction

1. Fort Wayne: Komets have best coaching, defense and leaders. Can they survive injuries again?

2. Muskegon: Lumberjacks celebrate 50th with league's top forward line. Is the defense better?

3. Port Huron: IceHawks have experience and got better on defense. It's up to Larry Sterling.

4. Flint: Generals have a few stars, and Muzzatti will keep building lineup. Need defensive help.

5. Bloomington: Besides Booras and Jas, PrairieThunder need two more scorers to make playoffs.

6. Dayton: Good defense and Mior is solid, but who is going to score for the Gems? Help wanted.

Buddy Walk totals

Despite overcast skies and very chilly weather, an estimated 1100 people participated in the 11th Annual DSANI Buddy Walk.  Because of your involvement and support, the Buddy Walk raised approximately $71,000 in cash and in-kind donations.

Our team, Matthew's Mates, came in 4th place at a little over $2,300, and an overwhelming 55 of our friends and family joined us for the walk!  (We have extra team buttons, so let us know if you would like one.)

Question for the blog

I know someone on here will know this, and I think I know but I'm double-checking. The Komets have never had a father-son combo who played, have they?

Ken Ullyot coached and Ron Ullyot played
The Burmans were uncle-nephew
Primeau and Potts are grandfather and grandson
Goodwins were not related
