The Leafs’ Punisher
Orr has done a lot of hurtin’, but some of that pain has been felt by his team
If he could it again, and Colton Orr knows full well he cannot, he would keep his fingers to himself.
Underdog ’89 Petes never quit
Reunion for team on Saturday night
Canadian Olympic hockey coach Mike Babcock recently said a team which wins a championship walks together forever.
That’s exactly how members of the Peterborough Petes’ 1989 OHL championship squad feel.
While some haven’t seen each other in many years, it will be like they were never apart when the Petes honour the 20th anniversary of their victory prior to Saturday’s game against the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors at 7 p.m. at the Memorial Centre.
Andy MacVicar, now a school liaison officer with the Halifax police, played on a line with the ’89 team’s marquee names — Mike Ricci and Tie Domi.
A day to promote good sportsmanship across the USA
Today is National Sportsmanship Day, a celebration of what’s right with sports. This is the 20th annual event as administered by the Institute for International Sport at the University of Rhode Island.
NSD theme — Competitive Self-Restraint. The theme is taken from NSD founder Dan Doyle’s highly acclaimed The Encyclopedia of Sports Parenting. Competitive self-restraint means competing hard but maintaining one’s self-control and playing within the rules.
As part of the celebration, students from elementary, middle and high schools, as well as colleges and universities, were invited to write essays of 500 words or less which address a sportsmanship theme.
The Institute estimates that around 15,000 schools will recognize Sportsmanship Day in some way.
A message to the Lloyd family
To the extended family of Jessica Lloyd,
My most sincere condolences on the untimely loss of Jessica.
A vibrant and warm lady, with a strong sense of humour and close community and family connections, whose death tragically came too soon.
Tie Domi goes home when he probably shouldn’t have
It’s with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to Tie Domi.
He should have been out weeks ago, but on Sunday, I thought a lot of good things were happening in his skate. I commented to my friend Janean before they announced the bottom 2: “Man, if it’s Tuffy and Tie vs. Dubreuil and Richer, I think Tie may actually pull it off.” On Sunday, he and Tuffy did a “Boots are Made for Walking” ode to a horrible Jessica Simpson movie BUT they were actually really good. He did some footwork. He got into the music and because he was playing a tough cow boy, his cockiness worked with the music.
The “Stash” is Back!
