Fall starts next week, which can mean only one thing...Hockey!!

The CBJ boys are all back in town and practice starts on Saturday morning. The first scrimmage 'a.k.a. pre-season' games begin next week. For CBJ fans, our first glimpse of the boys in Nationwide Arena comes on the 26th against those cream puff Nashville Predators. We'll be there, of course, because one of the many 'perks' of being a season ticket holder is the annual opportunity (obligation) to purchase pre-season tickets. Maybe this will be the year that we'll also get to buy some POST-SEASON tickets!

On a side note, Scott forwarded this article about 'Z' to me today. If nothing else, be thankful that Howson and Hitch had the good sense to dump him in the off-season. The sports writers at the New York Post are already calling him out - and this is just practice! If he plays there like he played here, he may quickly miss the friendly Dispatch sports writers.
