The Other Hometown Team

Last night I got to go and see the London Nationals victory over the Tecumseh Chiefs 6-2. This puts the Nats into a first place tie with the Chatham Maroons. It was a good game, London does have some good players. My friend Larry is an Asst. Trainer for the Nats.

It was also my first time at the Western Fair Sportsplex. This is a beatiful facility. There are four pads of ice, one of which is used by the Nats. Also playing at the same time as the OHL 'B' game were two girls and one boys team. One of the girls teams were about 16 - 17 years old. It was good hockey. Girls hockey has become big around here.

It was a pretty, snowy evening. This morning there is 6 - 8" of fresh snow, our first significant snowfall of the season.
