Retro pic..........
I found this beauty a Mom and Dad's place this past week. It's from one of the fan days about 25 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's Laurie Skolrood. Deadly!

Rambling on....
- Did anyone think the Phoenix Coyotes would have this good of a season, especially with all of the ownership problems off the ice? Dave Tippett has to be the favorite for coach of the year.
- Tampa Bay forward Steve Downie, became the first player, since Theo Fleury in 01/02, to record 20 goals and 200 pims in a season. Hopefully he has put his problems in the past.
- Regina native, Tyler Bozak, has had a very good season in Toronto, with 26 points in 34 games thus-far. Hopefully he can carry his success, into next year.
- The Leafs are 9-4-4 in their last 17 games. Wohoo! Too bad it means absolutely nothing!

Graham James Pardoned!....... What?
OTTAWA -- Graham James, the junior coach convicted of sexually abusing his players in a case that rocked the hockey world from house leagues to the NHL, has been pardoned by the National Parole Board, The Canadian Press has learned.
Though the pardon was granted three years ago, it comes to public light only now as a result of a previously unknown accuser contacting Winnipeg police.
A shocked Prime Minister's Office, notified of the pardon by The Canadian Press, called it a "deeply troubling and gravely disturbing" development that demands an explanation from the parole board.
James, now 58, pleaded guilty to sexual assault after two of his former teenaged players, including ex-NHLer Sheldon Kennedy, came forward with their stories of abuse at his hands from 1984 to 1995. James was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison in 1997.
His current whereabouts are unknown.
That is some sick stuff. I almost can't believe it.
Happy Easter everyone!
