ShopTalk: Hockey in Canada

[Ron Kellison]

As a long-time resident of Ottawa, I have to point out that our guys are doing OK this year. Even if we don't get all the way to the Stanley Cup this year, it's enough to know that we thump Toronto with regularity. On another sports front, I'm happy to see that my West Virginia Mountaineers made it all the way up to 15th in the AP rankings and into a Bowl game.

Winter has finally grabbed Ottawa with a vengence! It was -22 Celcius this morning, and the wind chill was -27 (-18 for those who insist on sticking with Fahrenheit). Either way you measure it, cold is cold! I finally broke down tonight and took my clubs and muskie rods down to the basement. As I don't ski or skate, I guess I'll just settle in for a 6-month session of griping about the weather and watching everyone pick on the Commodore!
Al, for what it's worth, Cleveland is nicer than Buffalo or Rochester, and warmer than Minneapolis!

Regards,

Ron
