Just three or four days ago, some of us were talking and reminiscing about one Gordie Winchester, goaltender for the Souls and the Prowlers for years, before being cast off from any steady goaltending duties a couple years ago. He was ever so pleased, then, to get the call to be the starting 'tender for the Yellow Jackets in 2006 and, even though he didn't have as a good a year as he would have liked, we all admired him for his tenacity and dedication to the game.
Gordie told us that he was pretty much quitting after that Jackets' season, and none of us had seen or heard from him since then....
Well, look who came out of the woodwork last night to play for the GB&E Generals (formerly the Prowlers) - yup! Gordie! And he even backstopped the Generals to a 4-2 win, their first victory in over a month. Well done, Gord. We knew you still had it in you.
