Keep your stick on the ice.

Getting ready for hockey season.







And no highlight reel would be complete without our boy, Sydney. The 'next' one.





* Pittsburgh Penguins' franchise record for assists in a season by a rookie (63)
* Pittsburgh Penguins' franchise record for points in a season by a rookie (102)
* First rookie to record 100 points and 100 penalty minutes in a season

Let's add Joey MacDonald. Another local boy. (I actually video taped his wedding for him way back when.)



Colin White,



and Jon Sim, both from New Glasgow, NS.



Let's just say, we have seen the Stanley Cup, up close and personal, more than once around here.
