Niagara Falls vs. Welland (10/20)

Niagara Falls Performance BMW Thunder vs. Welland Lifestyle Financial Tigers (Minor Bantam A)
Losing players, even key players, due to suspensions or injury might be properly used to excuse losing some close games until the regulars return to the lineup. However, this does not go very far to explain how a team gets away from doing all [...]

Skating On Thin Ice

Writing is a lot like skating on thin ice, at least if you are attempting to create good, thoughtful writing.
Good writing, as I see it, always involves being passionate about the subject you are writing. Whether that passion takes the form of love or hate, or somewhere in between, the important thing is to [...]

Welland vs. Guelph (10/18)

Welland Mountainview Homes Tigers vs. Guelph Jr. Storm Co-operators (Major Peewee AAA)
On paper, Thursday’s game appeared to be a mismatch, pitting the undefeated Welland Mountainview Homes Tigers (5-0) against the last place Guelph Jr. Storm Co-operators (1-5). Unfortunately for the Tigers, tonight’s game was played on ice, not on paper. While not quite on par with [...]

Halton vs. Welland (10/17)

Halton Hills Hurricanes @ Welland E.S. Fox Limited Tigers (Major Bantam AAA)

Special and ‘not so special’ Special teams
Pelham @ Welland (Minor Midget A)
