I’m not sure how long it will last, but at this moment I am leading in the office NHL pool. I didn’t make my picks. I trusted that role to JR, and our producer ‘Hammer’. All I really cared about was that Ottawa Senators’ Mike Fisher was on my team, and that I had no Toronto Maple Leafs. The criteria for the rest of the players, was that they were cute. JR and Matt filled out my roster, I have 12 guys from all over the NHL, and I currently lead the pool. My pool-mates? John Rodenburg, of Bob FM and the Team 1200 Sports Radio, the biggest sports fanatic I know. Team 1200 afternoon host and former NHLer Gary Galley. Sens play by play guy Dean Brown. Sens color guy Gordie Wilson. 67’s and Sens play by play guy Dave Schreiber. Team 1200 morning guy Steve Warne. Team 1200 sports guy Al Jakubec. A Channel news & sports guy Dave Gross. And Bruce Garrioch, aka ‘Boo Boo’, sports columnist for the Ottawa Sun and frequent guest on the Team 1200 sports radio. And my team of cute guys is on top of the NHL pool. Like I said, it probably won’t last. But right now, I am enjoying the sweet taste of victory! When’s the next game?!!!!
What’s one of the most fun fundraisers of the year, guaranteed to make you shout out gems of trivia like ‘Moose was the real name of the dog on Frasier’?! Its World Trivia Night! With all proceeds to ‘Champions for Children’, World Trivia night is an absolute blast! Get your team together, up to 10 people. Get one person who knows a lot about history.

Enter your team right now, because this event is always a sell-out!!!
Its Thanksgiving time! Can’t wait for the big turkey dinner. I have friends who are vegetarian, and they can’t wait for the big torfurkey dinner. Its tofu but they shape it exactly like a turkey, it even tastes like turkey. But the only thing they haven’t quite worked out with the torfurkey, is that it jiggles.
Whether you’re having turkey or torfurkey, enjoy your long weekend! And remember all that you have to be thankful for. Like being first in the office hockey pool.
