Happy Non-Denominational Holiday

(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.
