  1. Hap Stokes from Canada writes: Congrats Kitchener on a great year, have watched your team twice and they are very good. Your special fans will make it a marvelous Memorial Cup 2008. Wish you good luck and every success and you are the favorite to win it all, but I'm pulling for the underdog Spokane Chiefs.

    Just out of curiosity WHAT IS A COTTAGE?--
    Hear the word mentioned by people from Ontario 10 times a day.
    Not knowing what a cottage is --is driving me nuts!
  2. Bill Weston from Grand Rapids, MI, United States writes: Hap, dictionary.com defines a cottage as "a small, modest house at a lake, mountain resort, etc., owned or rented as a vacation home."
  3. Mike Anderson from Canada writes: As a longtime OHL follower, I have the ultimate respect for Kitchener's fans. They are collectively the best in the league . . . dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate. They absolutely deserve the opportunity they are getting thisyear to support a tremendous on-ice team as it competes for a Memorial Cup on home ice. Good for them!

    But am I a fan of everything the hockey organization in that city does? No way. The team's management has mastered the smudging of player procurement rules as well as anyone in the OHL (yes, Kitchener fans, that means as well as London) . . . and its radio broadcasts are among the most outrageous anywhere in the hockey world. But those are talking points for another day.

    In the meantime, enjoy yourselves Ranger fans. You have earned it.

    Hi Bill getting ready for the big PARADE in Hockeytown yet?

    Bill have already looked in several dictionaries but nothing is suitable for the term 'Cottage' as used in S. Ont. --Apparently it can range from an unheated shack without electricity to a fancy Dan getaway similar to around Malibu or Carmel. Far too expensive for us hard driving truck drivers Bill.

    Most Canucks from the Atlantic to the Pacific call our getaway shacks Cabins. What do you Wolverines call your summer get-away dumps?

    HOCKEY--Not betting on Mesquite anymore!-- You win--I give up.
