We met Tomas Holmstrom before the game and Power Play coach Jim Hiller got in the team picture. When Tommy Z mentioned coach Reggie Dunlap from Slap Shot, Coach Hiller quickly quoted Paul Newman saying, "We're working on it."

Get Well Brian!

The Czar's Mom loved the Get Well card too. She wanted to send thank cards to everyone, but Mike told her that a thank you would appear in the Duffer News.

Please pass along a sincere thank you to all of the Duffers on behalf of myself and Dylan for their generosity toward the Hornets Sled Hockey program. Dylan was able to donate $175 due to the Duffers generosity. The event raised over $6,000 for this team which is 100% funded by donations.

It is easy to help Beak remember who scored.	Terry Had 2 and BTW had 3 last week!
	These kids went to the Blackhawk game and got sedated.
Ken and Steve spent hundreds treating their kids to a Hawk Game.	These guys spent 20 bucks and had more fun.

Darin found a picture of the Kings evil twin.
	We went to see the U-17 USA team play Waterloo.
Saturday night, we got comfortable and parties broke out all over the place. Beak's granddaughter joined in the fun. A few guys went home and missed the parties, but saved a room charge. Thor had a room all to himself and was feeling good until he got hit with the bill.
Beak apologized to Mike for picking a fight with him. Mike asked "Why me?" Beak said, "I won't hurt my hand when I hit your belly"	After his goal and assist, He needed a fight to get a Gordie Howe Hat Trick!


Mini Wheezer had his Toronto trip shirt, Ken had Arizona.	I want to get a group picture with all Road Trip Shirts

They said that they couldn't find any Strohs in Detroit.	There was another party next door in the GODs' Room.
