Sportsmanship Is Awesome!

Oilers, events - by Steve Gunn

Edmonton kicks off the 46th Edition of QuickCard Minor Hockey Week this week.

And even if you hate hockey, hate hearing about the Oilers all day, and how their powerplay is the shits, you have to love kids having fun.

Some stats about EMHW:

  • 534 teams from Edmonton and surrounding communities
  • Over 8,500 participants ranging in age from 7 to 17
  • 68 final games played
  • 23 arenas
  • 30 sheets of ice
  • Over 3,000 volunteers
  • Over $40,000 of donated time on behalf of referees

Pretty cool, eh?

I have been a multiple participant in MHW, including an overtime victory in 1998 at the Agricom. You bet your sweet ass that I got the winning goal!

and that is my legacy!
