Brantford Blast wins Allen Cup

by

Just a little hats off to the boys from my home town of Brantford! They just won the Allen Cup!!! It is the 100th playing of the Cup!

And here is the latest news about the boys from Brantford!

I heard the other day from my dad, that the Bentley Generals were challenging the Brantford Blast to contest Allan Cup final, and that it was set be to begin and end at the Brantford Civic center, and I was just pumped! Just like every other Brantford citizen, I just couldn’t wait for the final outcome of the game. And boy we were not disappointed.

This game had everything that you wanted in a Allen cup Final. Brent Gretzky, the younger brother of Wayne, was more than likely playing his last professional game of his career. The captain of the Brantford Blast was in the same shoes. The end result was playing for bragging rights of winning the Allen cup.

Don Cherry of “CBC’s Coaches Corner, Hockey Night in Canada” had a lovely little ditty about the 2008 Allen Cup and it’s winner the Brantford Blast.

So let’s hear it for the boys from Brantford and the 2008 Allen cup championship winners!

The Tour de Canada

by

To all Tour de France purists everywhere, this is not a joke! It’s called Ride the Lobster and when I first came across this article I thought it was a joke for sure. I guess this is our version of the Holy Grail of cycling.

It is a international unicycle race held in Nova Scotia Canada. The event will take place Monday, June 16 to Friday, June 20 2008. There will be 25 teams entered, consisting of 3 riders per team. It will take only the most dedicated unicyclist’s from all over the world to finish this event. The winning team, of this grueling 5 day 800 km. event, will go home with a rock lobster of a prize totaling $10,000.00 (Cdn).

I thought that only Shriners and guys in the circus drove these contraptions. So for all you die hard unicyclist’s out there, forgive my ignorance!

So if your team thinks it’s got what it takes to cycle with the big boys/girls, hats off to ya.

A Hockey Series that wasn’t so Super

by

Well we won. What else can we say.

It was billed here in Canada as a follow up to the historic 1972 Canada Cup, but it was not even close. Out of a 8 game series we won 7 and tied 1. Four games were played in Russia having to travel through multiple cities and stadiums and four in Canada.

I watched the whole series at home and loved every minute of it. I just wished that I put the last game that was held in Vancouver B.C. on September 9th on a DVD to send to my brother and his sons in Chicago. The game was a clinic on how to play hockey, pure and simple!

So let’s here it for our boys on blades!

Keep on Jammin’
