Christmas is coming...

Okay... I'm only going to shill the blog store once (this week)... If you look over on the right margin you'll see a blog t-shirt. I have all sorts of other blog stuff (crap) for sale. I doubt I'll sell much, and with the razor-thin margins (gee, thanks CafePress) I doubt I'll make much. But hey, who doesn't need another coffee mug, right? Former Texas Tonado player enforcer and Fort Worth Texans assistant coach Chris Nichols was cut from the CHL's Arizona Sundogs after two regular season games (and no fights). However, this week he signed with the Huntsville Havoc of the SPHL. He didn't waste any time Saturday, getting into a fight with Columbus Cottonmouth Craig Stahl, and receiving a fighting major and a ten minute misconduct for his trouble. In other Tornado enforcer news. The Dallas Stars reassigned Matt Nickerson from the AHL Iowa Stars to the ECHL Idaho Steelheads. Nicherson was a 3rd round pick in 2003, and has also spent time with Clarkson (ECAC), Victoriaville (QMJHL), and last season led the Finish Elite League with 236 penalty minutes in just 36 games with Assat Pori. Saskatchewan player development model announced... Boston Bruins turn out pockets for injured Garrett Robinson... Charges laid in Moose Jaw crash... Looks like Canadians have discovered that hockey is just for the rich up there, too... I'll go out on a limb here and suggest Campbell River might be the next home of the Williams Lake Timberwolves. Prince George Cougars fire head coach Mike Vendekamp and assistant coach Stew Malgunas... Dauphin Kings head coach Doug Hedley resigns... Penticton Vees fan could win lots of money...
