Cold




I find it kinda amusing that the first day of winter is still a week away. Today with the wind chill it is supposed to feel like -43 Centigrade. Here is hoping that we have a much warmer winter than we had in the fall.

The Bonnyville Pontiacs played very well over this past weekend. The played Spruce Grove on Saturday and, despite playing very well, lost by a score of 4-1. Spruce Grove is ridiculously good. They are huge with most the team being 6'2" or taller, the are fast, skilled and can even read each others minds. You put all those attributes together and it is no fluke they have been ranked either 1 or 2 in Canada all year long. With out a doubt I think they would be able to compete in the WHL they are that good!

Then the Pontiacs took on the Lloydminster Bobcats, a team that is struggling mightily in this AJHL season. Coming into the game the Cats had only scored 2 goals in the last 5 games and were losers of 12 in a row. As you might expect the Pontiacs dominated most of the game and came away with a 3-2 win.

Next action for the Pontiacs is this Wednesday on the road in Sherwood Park. Catch all the action on Kool 101 dot 3 or http://www.1013koolfm.com/ starting at 7:15.

A lot of school buses were cancelled today due to the extreme cold and that got Robb and I thinking of all the games we used to play in class when most of the kids were away because of the weather. We agreed that 'Heads down Thumbs up' was probably the best. Coming in a distant 2nd is 4 corners which was pretty lame when you think about it. Now the best game that I have ever heard of would have to be 'The Floor Is Lava:Classroom Edition'. Now this is a variation of the game "tag" but you have to stay on the tops of the desk cuz the floor is lava. I unfortunately never had a chance to play this one but it should awesome and dangerous all at the same time. If you have a game that you remember as being the best in class game during your school days leave a comment and Robb and I will discuss tomorrow morning.
