"Hockey has its own culture, it's own religion, and it's own political views, it is a life beyond the game and built through the pasion of Canadians"

Canada Day is Tomorrow!

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything to the blog lately as I have been busy working, I am currently doing a summer job and I have been coming home way too tired to blog. Most of the news I have is old news, and stuff that big hockey fans already know but I felt I needed to update. The other day the Hockey Hall of Fame(HHF) announced it's inductees for 2011. The four inductees are Doug Gilmour, Joe Nieuwendyk, Ed Belfour, and Mark Howe. Three of which played for the Leafs and one who is Gordie Howe's son. Doug Gilmour is one the best leaf players to ever play the game, he is also regarded as the best captain Leafs captain ever for any leaf fan who didn't live during the 70s or has been sleeping the last 15 years. Joe Neiwendyk was also a leaf for a bit, he won the Stanley Cup three times for three different teams. The Eagle will also get inducted, he played for the leafs and was a big part of the team when I really started paying attention to the Leafs. He along with Joe won the Stanley Cup with Dallas. Mark Howe is the fourth to be inducted. He is the son of Mr. Hockey and played alongside him in the WHA. Howe was a very outstanding player on and off the ice. That's about all I've got for you right now, maybe more when the event actually happens after the HHF Game always hosted by the Leafs. 
Tomorrow is one of the best days of the year, Canada Day is the day to celebrate the greatest country ever. And what better way to celebrate Canada Day with Free Agent Frenzy. This year might not be as exciting as last year but the highlighter of this year is Brad Richards. We shall see what happens.
Also tomorrow if I am not busy I want to retire a blog post talking about some of the best Canadians that have changed this country.
