If I Tell Five People & They Tell Five People - That's Like ... Too Much Math For Me!
Greetings fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! As I sit here wondering what I should articulate through the art of digitally engineered linguistic masterpieces - Blogging to be more precise, I have come to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, it is time to turn the story crafting over to you!
If you have a favorite hockey moment that you would like to share, please feel free to email me a copy at: hockeyheritagenorth@gmail.com. Your stories could/may be posted here on the Hockey Heritage North Blogspot, and perhaps have featured stories shared on our own website: www.hockeyheritagenorth.ca. We can connect with other hockey enthusiasts one story at a time.
In the meantime, I encourage all of you to tell your friends, family, relatives, and neighbors about Hockey Heritage North and its Bodacious Blogs!
Until the next blog,

Tag You're It - We Want to Hear From You!
Greetings Fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! There is an underlining pandemic that continues to go overlooked. I am talking about the under-use of the Knock ... Knock Joke! Therefore, as part of the fight to keep the Knock ... Knock Joke legacy alive, I will start with one today:
Knock ... Knock
Who's There?
Wan!
Wan Who?
Wan to hear another Knock ... Knock Joke?
Not only am I a huge fan of the mind numbing Knock .. Knock joke, but I also thoroughly enjoy good old fashion fun: like Tag! But the tag I would like to play today is a form of hybrid cyber tag. It goes a little something like this: Anyone who reads the blog is "it". In order to become "not it", the reader has to submit feedback or "comments" regarding future topics they would like to have me blog about. We would also enjoy hearing about what you enjoy most about the blogs, as well as, what you enjoy least about the blogs.
And don't forget: You are ALWAYS welcome to come down and check out Hockey Heritage North (this is where the magic happens - and by magic I mean where the blogs are birthed).
Until next blog,

Hello? Meteorologist ... I Think There Has Been a Mistake!
Greetings fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! I want to start with a question: "Is it just me or did Jack Frost nip at your nose too whilst heading out the door this morning?" What a rude awakening, but I guess that is to be expected with the wacky weather we have been experiencing! The warm & gentle embrace of the sun was great while it lasted! Let's hope that there are fewer cold snaps and more warm fronts heading our way!
Speaking of warm fronts, I have been warming up my HD channels for ... you guessed it ... PLAYOFF Hockey! Yee Haw!!!!! I must admit that the Playoff Bug has wasted no time nestling itself securely in the depths of my hockey passionate bosom eagerly awaiting to share with the world a boisterous war cry ... "GOALLLLLLL!" as the team I cheer for loses in Overtime :(
It is important to remember: we may be defenseless when it comes to battling the illusive elements outside, but you always have control of what is on your TV!

In the Spotlight!
Today in the spotlight is Daren Puppa!
Daren Puppa's native Kirkland Lake has been to hockey what great soil has been to farmers, a fertile place with a history of healthy crops. Long after names like Duff, Backstrom, Watson, and Hillman had moved on to the NHL, Puppa stepped onto the ice and established a reputation as a talented youngster known primarily only by the locals. And although the Belleville Bulls of the OHA drafted him, Puppa had his sites set on obtaining a scholarship with an American university. He eventually settled on Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York State where he attended classes and backstopped the schools hockey team from 1983 to 1985.
Having chosen an academic path, Puppa remained unknown to most scouts and to the Central Scouting Bureau of the NHL. His discovery occurred in 1983 when his fathers cousin, former Montreal Canadiens star Ralph Backstrom, then the head coach of the University of Denver, had called Sabres GM Scotty Bowman to inquire about a Swedish goaltender. During the conversation, Backstrom mentioned his disappointment about not having been able to entice Puppa to play in Denver. Bowmans ears immediately pricked up at the thought of a goaltending sleeper coming out of Kirkland Lake. In response, Bowman sent his scouting spies up into Ontario to get second, third and fourth opinions about his secret prospect. As the picture became clearer, Bowman had a hunch that Puppa was worth the risk. He drafted him, sight unseen in 1983.
With the Sabres, Puppa made an instant splash in his NHL debut, shutting out Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers 1-0. But the bigger challenge he faced was to wrestle the number-one stoppers post away from incumbent Tom Barrasso. That took three years of patient waiting.
He finally got the starting job in 1989-90. As a strong, stand-up goalie in the tradition of Ken Dryden, Puppa won 31 games and was runner-up to Patrick Roy in balloting for the Vezina Trophy. But over the three seasons that followed, Puppa struggled to regain his form. He had a tendency to allow bad goals, especially through the five-hole, a favorite target for NHL shooters. In 1993, he was shipped to the Leafs where he played eight games before being claimed first by the Panthers and then by the Lightning in the Expansion Draft of 1993. Puppa assumed starting duties with Tampa Bay for his first three seasons. By year three, his strong goaltending began to reflect itself in the win/loss column as he racked up 29 wins, 19 losses, and nine ties, topped off by the Lightnings first trip to the playoffs in 1996.
But from that point on, a nagging back injury created havoc for Puppa. He managed to hang in with the club over the four seasons that followed but was able to appear in a total of only 50 games. He then hung up his pads for good in 1999-2000.

With Bat Sightings on the Rise, are Boy Wonders soon to Follow?
Greetings Fellow Bloggies/Blogettes,
It is Official (at least according to the Calendar) ... Spring has Sprung and with it hopes of Blissful Days in the proverbial arms of the softly caressing sun. Or something like that! But before I put away my one piece Long-Johns and my woolly socks, I eagerly await the distinct tune of a long awaited avian friend - The Robin.
As Sesame Street is brought to you by the letters "A" through "Z" and the number "0123456789," Spring is brought to you, year after year, by the Red-Breasted Robin. I do not know how the Robin does it, but I tell you this, like Canada Post, the Robin always delivers. So keep your eyes peeled and your ears open for Springs Official Messenger!
Until Next Blog,
Cheer Loud, Cheer Long, Cheer Often!

In the Spotlight!
Today in the spotlight is Hockey Heritage North's Honoured Member Mike Zuke! Centre R. 6`, 180lbs.
4/16/1954 Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
He played 455 career NHL games, scoring 86 goals and 196 assists for 282 points. His father was a local mail carrier and hockey coach who helped produce great NHL players (e.g., Ron Francis). Zuke played for his hometown Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the NOJHA earning First Team All-star recognition in 1972 before attending Michigan Tech where he again earned All Star berths in 1974, 1975, and 1976. He was selected by the Indianapolis Racers in the 1974 WHA draft and was also selected by the St. Louis Blues in the 1974 NHL draft. He turned pro with Indianapolis during the 1976-77 season and was traded to the Edmonton Oilers prior to the start of the following season. The lanky centreman signed with St. Louis prior to the beginning of the 1978-79 season and played with the Blues for five seasons where his scrappy play made him a fan favorite. He also saw time on both the power play and penalty killing units while with the Blues. Hartford claimed him in the 1983 waiver draft and he finished his NHL career with the Whalers in 1985-86 after the better part of three seasons with the club. Zuke returned to St. Louis and became involved in minor hockey and a hockey school instructor after his retirement. He served as an assistant coach of the St. Louis Jr. Blues and became director of the St. Louis AAA Amateur Hockey Association.

Did Somebody say: "March Break?"
Greetings Fellow Bloggies/Blogettes! It is time for yet another intellectually scintillating cyber-spawn masterpiece. That is fancy talk for blog!
Word on the street has it that we have come to that special time of year where students are pardoned from their scholastic routine to go and indulge in the “Spring-like air.” The phenomenon that has come to be known as – Oh Ya, you guessed it - SPRING BREAK!
While some go off to faraway places to, ski, swim, tan or drink those fruity drinks with those little umbrellas from tropical fruit dishes; others stay closer to home and enjoy the serenity of home sweet home. Whatever the case may be may you all enjoy a safe and fun filled March Break.

With Sping in the Air, I Smell Playoff Hockey!
Good day Ladies and Gentlemen! It has been a while, but Hockey Heritage North blogging is back! Today’s topic of interest is inspired by the thawing of Winter’s icy grip and the slow evolution of the reality of Spring. We are also approaching one of hockey’s most illustrious times: PLAYOFFS!
Hockey Heritage North currently has 14 of its members playing in the NHL. We also have 4 coaches leading their teams through the treacherous rinks striving for the opportunity to play for Hockey’s Holy Grail: The Stanley Cup.
As a Leafs Fan, I eagerly await the miracle that they will somehow find their way into the playoffs this spring, but as my mother puts it: “Son, I love you dearly, but this is one boat hope will not make float!”
So as we move closer and closer to the Big Game, I await in anticipation to see who Hockey crowns as “2009 - 2010 King of the Castle.” I cheer on our Honored members, wishing them all the best success.
