My mother has a couple of old B/W pictures of her and Leo Burke in our house in Greenwood NS and me playing with my Tonka trucks in the background. And another of him sitting at the dinner table arm wrestling my dad. Lol.

And another of him sitting at the dinner table arm wrestling my dad. Lol.Was a wrestling fan as a kid. Dad and I use to go to wrestling in Dartmouth NS every time it came to town. That was in about 68. Those were the Emile Dupre, the Beast, Rocky Johnson and Andre the Giant days. Rocky Johnson (Nova Scotia born), by the way, is Dwayne Johnson (The Rock's ) dad. . Didn't watch much wrestling after that. Live was always better.... Shame about Owen. A career cut short by a freak accident.
Damn Graham beat me to it!Looks like a secure load to me. Nothing to see here. View attachment 23868
That’s a sad turnout for sure. Wow !!Just a picture I took at the Canada Games in Red Deer last night. This was the Hockey game between Alberta and Ontario. Alberta had to win to proceed. I may be out to lunch here but I'd have expected at least a couple more people to attend... especially when it is only $ 14.50 for tickets.... I bet there wasn't 1000 people there last night. Sort of sad that most people stayed home to watch the Oilers and Islanders play. They missed some talented kids... Even if AB did lose the game.

I always thought hockey was very popular at all levels in Canada.I was very surprised to see all the empty seats. Here in Boston the Bruins farm team is a hot ticket.Especially when we play Montreal or Toronto.
Wow that's actually not a bad turnout for youth hockey, considering it's the middle of winter.I was under the impression it was semi-pro or pro farm teams, my bad.This is Canada Winter Games Hockey so it's amateur under 16 kids, but it's teams from Canada wide so I was expecting more interest for sure. And yes Hotrod. There has always been that little extra rivalry between the original 7 NHL teams. Good to see you're still filling arenas.
