Your Labor Day Weekend Quickies

Before you settle in for the first Saturday of college football (gotta get my Michigan flag out), here are a few quickies for you:

I'm interested in loading up my MP3 player with hockey podcasts... so do you have any good recommendations to share? Feel free to drop a comment and let me know which ones I should subscribe to...
Head over to the Legends of Hockey Network, where Joe Pelletier is posting a series of the greatest photographs in hockey history. Yesterday's installment detailed a gruesome injury that nearly ended the career of Gordie Howe before it even got rolling. In my book, Mr. Hockey is the greatest of all-time because not only was he a consistently great scorer, but he was also a dominating physical presence night-in, night-out. He epitomized the game.
Anyone in the adult C-leagues (upper or lower) down at Centennial Sportsplex need a player? I'd like to head back downtown after spending last year at Southern Ice, but I've been told the teams are all signed up.
The Predators are currently conducting their Get Out And Learn (GOAL) program, a free opportunity for kids to get an introduction to hockey. I've got all three of the Little Forecheckers signed up, and the picture below will take you to a gallery of some pics I took last Wednesday. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to give their kids a taste of the game, without having to shell out big bucks for equipment first. They're going to have another session with signups in September, so set a reminder for yourself to check it out.

Good posts. The Blue Jackets will thump you this season. You will remember this warning after the first few poundings, guaranteed. I can't wait to see Tootoo running around with Mike Commodore's hands wrapped around his neck.

Rob Robinson (aka, Thinktrain plays on a C-league team. He may know of any open spots that are available.

Did you hear back on any podcasts? Make sure to post and let us know if you find any.

Hey there - if you are interested in something different in a podcast, give a listen to http://imnotapuckbunny.podbean.com/. It's essentially hlog's podcast.
