Cool Surprise


Courtesy of the Leader Post newspaper and the Chris Knox Foundation, we were offered 4 box seats for a game at the World Juniors Hockey tournament today!

Steph, Tom, Mike and Jeanie went on down to the game, where an extra surprise awaited them: 2 members of the Riders were there to watch the game with them - Jeremy O'Day and Gene Makowsky, two of our favourite football players. According to the members of our family who were there (Laura was there with some fellow students and popped in), they are just as great in person as we might imagine they would be.

What a neat opportunity!

Thanks again to the Leader-Post and Chris Knox Foundation for your generosity and hospitality.

P.S. Austria was embarassed 7 - 1.
