Ah yes, Christmas time is right around the corner. The best time of year, yes it -45 with the wind the last 3 days but Christmas is a almost here. As mentioned earlier this month, the IIHF has the World Junior Tournament in Saskatoon this year. So this week begins two solid weeks of hockey in our province. We have exhibition games all around the province, but starting Friday, there is a Family Hockey Fest at the Teacher's Credit Union Place. There will be hockey memorabilia, players such as Dale Hawerchuk, Dennis Hull, Haley Wickenheiser and some guy named Stanley. The Stanley Cup will be in town and accessible to fans on the Dec 21 and 22. Some of the Saskatoon Blades, our WHL junior team will be around the event. There is also a New Yeas day brunch with the 1991 Gold Medal Team Canada. Steve Yzerman and his hockey people will announce the Canadian Olympic team in town on December 30. At the junior games, there will be lots of players of all ages around, you just have to know your stuff and know who's who. What a two weeks this will be, lots of hounding to do but more so just get your fill of turkey, family and hockey....What a time....
