Growing up I always loved #11- Gilbert and #9 Graig Nettles

Thanks Chandler that was a great watch. Here is a link to a column that I wrote some years ago about the first Stanley Cup run by the Sabres and my experience in the neighborhood I grew up in. Hopefully you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

@ChevyVanMiller, you wrote this at 10?!?😳 The Ohio Street Gang in NT challenges you ‘n your mates to a street (hockey) fight! 😉 Half a block up from my house was a cross street that dead ended just past the intersection. Perfect Street hockey area as no cars parked there. We erected boards behind the goals and never had to take them down. (We crashed through them a lot, though..)

 

You captured the fanatism or the period well. 

 

(btw, Fat Kate didn’t sing the National Anthem. Her preference was God Bless America 🤷‍♂️)

 

Thank you.

Haha, no I wrote it as an adult thinking back on those years, but I appreciate the compliment all the same. The Weston Avenue Wild Bunch accept your challenge. 😀
