Made it to the game last night, what a terrible display for the loyal fans, heard a lot of rumbling of people wanting their money back. Also feel bad for the goaltenders, they were thrown to the wolves by the coaching staff, hope it doesn’t end their chances for this season.

Great blog Dish . I love your stlye of promoting the game The Welland “Vesuvius” Warlords? Thats one of the best names for a team ever, it will go down in history as one of those unique lacrosse names. I bet there are hundreds of them all uniquely Canadian.. Keep up the good work.

Nicholas Hay seems like a great role model to many young men out there only if more boys were like Nicholas

Love your commentaries. You do a great job. I am just curious about the picture on the top of your Rink Rats Rants. Looks like a beautiful place. I think I want to go there.

Will you be providing commentaries for the SCTA’s?

Thanks Dish. Good job. Not sure, but I think it was the other St. Kitts goalie last night. And he made some big ones. Undoubtedly though, it was Welland goalie who was forced to make the bigger saves!

Hey, where’s the picture at the top of this page from? Just gorgeous.

Hey Justin…….thanks for last night’s game report already! Also, thanks for the continuous updates via text messaging throughout the game in Riverside. It was extremely hard not to be there, although duty calls at times…….but having you give me the updates throughout the night made it a little easier. Keep up the great job with all you do for our team…..I know it means alot to the boys!

I just want to say thanks for the game coverage all year long, not just from me but I’m sure I could speak for all the parents from all the teams that you have covered on your web site.
I don’t think people realize the effort and all the hours you put in at the arena (Welland and out of town rinks).
The boys have grown to enjoy and expect to see and hear you (tunes ) at every game. I know my son asks about you when he doesn’t see you around.
Thanks again Justin for making our games that much more special.

PS: You may not think our parents are so special after next weeks trip to Windsor. Remember no cameras. lol and please forgive me for any spelling or grammar errors, I cant find spell check.

Comment on Halton vs. Welland (12/15) by SCTA Dad

SCTA Dad — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 04:01:27 +0000

Seems like the Welland Dads need to relax at tad at the arena.

Psycho Dad on Welland went nuts in Brampton and now at home against Halton.

He knows who he is. His son is the next coming of Rocky.

It’s a shame when kids can’t keep up, they resort to fighting and goon play.

Good luck Welland moms. You need it!

“Thanks to everyone for including me in on the ride” Thank YOU for sharing your articles with all of us via the OMHA forum. My son plays for the PeeWee Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs and I enjoy reading your recap of the games and particularly enjoyed this commentary.

Being a mom of 2 boys who both play Rep Hockey and Rep Soccer, I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s not the wins or losses that count, but the friendships we make, the life lessons we learn and the character we build through sport.

Thanks again for an enjoyable read and please keep them coming . . .

Sincerely,

Virginia Clutsam
