                The “Team” has just completed Issue #141, and as always, I would
        like to thank Lynn (Graphic Design), Marion (Editor), Bernadette (Website),
        our writers, Molly, Victoria, Thom, Casey, Jim, and Christine. Thanks to our

        manager, Pat, our ad salesman, Gord,  our distribution locations, our advertisers,
        and of course the people who are featured in our stories. I hope you enjoy # 141.
                 My thoughts and prayers go out to the people in all areas of conflict
        in the world.

                 I was hoping Patrik Laine would make a huge comeback in Montreal
        this season. It’s too bad he got hurt and will delay his return to the ice. Wishing
        him a speedy recovery.

                 Love him or hate him, John  Tortorella, coach of the Philidelphia
        Flyers has a soft spot in his heart. This was recently seen when he invited Guy
        Gaudreau, father of Johnny and Matty Gaudreau out to a Flyers practice to help
        out on the ice. Torts would like Guy to become a part of the Flyers coaching
        staff.
