(12.21.04) So here we are, most of us anyway, sitting back and reflecting on the past year and the year that is to come. In honour of this holiday season, I would like to offer a Christmas, or sorry, non-denominational, wish, to the following :
To Yasir Syed : Softer end boards in ERHL rinks.
To Dale Au : a daytime job, and a full time slot on the Sharps.
To the Knights of Columbus Arena : New dressing rooms, so that the janitors can have their eight broom closets back.
To Ernst Gerhardt : A couple goals for his little son Eli.
To the Oilers and Prowlers : Matching road uniforms. Take it from Roger Davis and Andrew Degenhardt - the novelty of masking tape on practice jerseys wears off, along with the masking tape.
To Sacha Pelletier : A "hardest working player" award of his own, so the rest of us can win it once in a while.
To Matt Stephens : The ability to bottle and sell his undying passion and enthusiasm for playing hockey.
To James Seabrook : Offensive support from his teammates, so that one of the top statistical goaltenders in the league can have a winning record.
To the Klondike Maulers : A roster consisting of five total players in our next game, resulting in a default loss. It seems to be the only way we can beat you.
To Chris McTavish : An Edmonton campus for Loyola University.
To Jeff Cowie : I'd wish him more heart, but that would be impossible.
To the Stars in Division VI : Continued team success without anyone named Steve Sigaty or Ken Batchelor.
To Brent Cochrane : Many more games with the Sharps in 2005 than the half dozen you were able to play in the first half of the season.
To Tom Griener and Abby Campbell : A happy engagement and a lovely May wedding.
To me : A haircut, humility, and a broken keyboard.
To the Bee Flats : Anything you want, because you are far too good to us.
To everyone : A happy holiday season and a prosperous 2005.
