Some shots of me playing goal for my rec hockey team. Sometimes I think that playing hockey is more important to me than drawing comics. It's definitely more immediate, in terms of satisfaction.

The Hockey Song

Oh!
The good old hockey game!
Its the best game you can name!
And the best game you can name,
is the good old hockey game!

- The Hockey Song by Stompin' Tom Connors

That's right folks! Tonight is the beginning of the 2007-2008 NHL Season! So, if you don't hear from me for a while it's because I just got the Bell ExpressVu Centre Ice hockey package! I'll be able to follow my Thrashers on TV now instead of internet radio! I just can't stop ending my sentences with an exclamation mark!

Game on!

You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)

The Montreal Canadiens announced today that they are retiring Ken Dryden's jersey number on January 29th.

Dryden wore jersey #29 for his 8 season career in Montreal, in which he won 6 Stanley Cups, a Con Smythe, the Calder and 5 Vezinas. He was the reason I got into playing goal when I was a kid. Which is probably why you might recognize his mask as my Blogger avatar.

Congratulations to you, Mr. Dryden!

Under Ice

If you don't hear from me for a few weeks, you'll know I bought EA's NHL 07. It goes on sale this Thursday....
