I am pr...I am from Dubuque and a Thunderbirds fan. I am pretty sure that I know who this boy is. He has been going to hockey games since he was about 3 years old. He does love the sport and I can so see him doing the autograph thing with your Toledo team. I'm sorry that, for whatever reasons, you don't like our city, we're all pretty proud of it. I will admit we do have some rowdy fans; but for the most part, the greater majority of our fans are sincere in their love of hockey. We sat near some of your Toledo boys during the TBirds games (toward the top in Section 2). They were polite and well represented your city. I also rooted for them when they played St. Louis. As it turns out, I think that they would have been a terrific representative for the CSHL.DIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961907395144865270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22568791.post-25223554582685226592009-03-24T10:45:00.000-04:002009-03-24T10:45:00.000-04:00Reckless abandon is a favorite of mine ;-0.

My sport growing up was baseball, as my dad and I used to go on "dates" to see the Jays- right from the beginning of the team. I always liked hockey too though- whether it was the Leafs or the teeam my dad coached or the one my brother payed on. Hockey is different. Kids grow up on skates, in the summer it's "GAME ON!" Oh, I can just hear that in my head! School grounds had 2 rinks every winter- one for hockey. I can remember the cold air of the arenas or outside- drinking hot chocolate and watching guys like Wendal Clark going after Mario Lemux! Oh thank you Mik for letting me remember! I do so miss hockey. I miss Baseball with my dad, but hockey- I wish my boy could grow up with that. Florida is somehow not the same though ;-) God Bless and better luck next year eh!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778221847847541523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22568791.post-56027166551163608152009-03-23T22:11:00.000-04:002009-03-23T22:11:00.000-04:00Very touching entry, and the players were great. ...Very touching entry, and the players were great.

This is a reason why I think professional athletes' should live a life beyond reproach because children like this guy look up to them as role models - good or bad.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about your loss, but the memories made for this young man are worth more than all the victories in the world. This boy will NEVER forget it, & I have a lot of respect for your team, especially Brandon, for going above & beyond.<BR/><BR/>Absolutely beautiful story, & the way major league baseball (my favorite sport) used to be when I was growing up.<BR/><BR/>Dirk<BR/>THE FIRST AMENDMENT NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT II<BR/>http://tsalagiman2.blogspot.com/Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794945973074374935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22568791.post-44138806961048289482009-03-23T18:46:00.000-04:002009-03-23T18:46:00.000-04:00What a lovely thing for the Team to do!
