I would assume b4 mid january... because thats when the draft is and if we dont have a coach then nicole is going to do the drafting :/

Please no. We can always get random Brazilians later. Heck, maybe I'll pretend to be one.

But has anyone heard ANYTHING on the ownership situation?

No, they have opened franchises in Ontario, eh?

Have you started eating Mae West and other fine Vachon products with breakfast )washed down with either Pepsi or Spruce Beer) in TO as well? Man, those were the days!

Man, in getting the pics, I was shocked to see that Saputo's has extended it's impact to include Vachon pastries!

No St Hubert in Alberta yet, not American enough. At the U-20 Club championships in Edmonton in Alberta, a disappointed Montreal player at the Edmonton Soccer Centre tried to order poutine. I was able to persuade the lady at the snack bar to put a velveeta cheese slice on chips with gravy for him.
