Yeah the Calder cup win was amazing. I was very disappointed when the QMJHL did not select Saint John to host this year's Memorial cup. Shawinigan won the right and it was largely political I have heard. The Dogs are still a great team and I hope the city gets the chance at some point to host as I am sure we'd do a great job.

Yeah, I was not happy about that either - there is no way Shawinigan could compete with what Saint John would put on for that event, and unfortunately this could be the last year we had a shot to win it at home, as there's a good chance most of the Sea Dog's best players will be graduating to other leagues after this season.
I wasn't alive for the Allan Cup wins, but I do remember playing all my schoolboy hockey at the LBR with Art Comeau's teams, and Rob's right, that is one old school rink, always cold. You couldn't beat the ice quality, though! Better than the station, even.
Nice to see a couple other Saint Johner's here on hockeybuzz, too. Illdeliveries, why don't I ever see you posting in Yost's blogs??
