Coach York





Johnny Hockey, the most talented hockey mind playing in Canada right now, besides maybe Erik Karlsson or the somewhat proven Connor McDavid (still out with a Collar McBroken), got his young start in hockey tracking down skittles, left in a trail by his father (the would be Hansel and Grettle metaphor provider for the NHL) who had to bribe him to be a hockey genius to save him from the stove of post NCAA hockey doom.

You can tell that Guy Gudreau, the candy-man, is a very decent man and a great coach.  He's the Walter Gretzky of the USA.  Everyone with common sense wants to hug the Hockey family unless they are Goalies.

But this post is dedicated to Jerry York.  He's the man who can explain why Johnny Hockey is hard on the puck and a kid who can survive in the NHL.  He knows well that Jonathan Hockey is the flint who is sparking the post Kiprusoff Flames:

A Nice Call By Jack Edwards who loves the Bruins more than I love Pizza.  Johnny Hockey From Dougie.  A Strong Boston connection.




Gary Bauman

Gary Bauman was my favourite math teacher (grade six).  He Threw a piece of chalk at me (when he was trying to get me to pay attention) and he played net for the North-Stars and the Habs, briefly.  He had a subtly faux style of presentation in class which made him seem scary, but he was a friend to every kid.  He was very kind and fair.  He chain smoked like an Andes Survivor and he drank like Bobby Clarke.  This post is in honour of Gary Bauman:
