News from all sorts of places

I'm not sure if we have linked up to this yet, but here are the dates for the free family skate nights at the Maverik Center. We've watched a few of these, and everyone always seems to have a good time. And watching the little tiny tots on skates is really cute!

The AHL posted an article about our affiliate, the Abbotsford Heat. They're playing non-divisional games this weekend in the east, their first time playing in Pennsylvania. Okay, the article is mostly about the Wilkes-Barre Penguins, but it does mention that their captain is from Abbotsford.

The Calgary Flames skaters are doing a bunch of feel good things this week. It is nice to see this around Christmas time, but I think it would be awesome if more things like these happened throughout the year. Of course, who has the time?

This has nothing to do with our Grizzlies, but a local news channel had a cool article about sled hockey for wounded soldiers and their families. The National Ability Center has adapted many sports to fit the disabled population, and they teamed up with the U.S. paralympics to host these families. It's a feel good article, at a good time of year. I really liked when one of the soldiers said, "Negative." They actually say that. (Photo courtesy of KSL.com)

One last article to fill up your spare time with reading. Washington Capitals' coach Boudreau got a call from him mommy about his bad language on last night's episode of 24/7. Maybe he needs to find some new words to yell at his players.
