Wink may miss opener
Notorious gameshow host gone bad, Wink, is questionable for Sunday's regular season opener, but that doesn't mean he's retired.
The venerable veteran, whose absence from previous season openers often set off speculation amongst his fellow roadsters and in the road hockey media about his future in the game, says commitments to his exploitative employer may keep him out of the lineup. And, with new responsibilities and a new title, Sunday's game may only the be the first of occasional scratches through the season.
Meanwhile, the Living Legend is expected to return to the courts for his 14th consecutive season opener after he missed last Sunday's final exhibition tuneup to travel to a faraway city. Sunday Morning Road Hockey's oldest active player is also the league's reigning ironman, not having missed a regular season game in four seasons.
