Preseason opens Sunday

Training camp for Sunday Morning Road Hockey's 20th anniversary year opens Sunday at the courts.
Energized by the infusion of new players like Chico, Bam Bam and Franz Beckenbauer, it was the league's wiliest veteran and fellow founding father, the Living Legend, who put the exclamation mark on its 19th season by leading his squad to a two-game sweep of the Stanley Stick championship series.
He'll be back, vying to become the first roadster to have his career span four decades. But a disappointing turnout at the annual Midsummer Scrimmage and an otherwise quiet off-season have left lingering questions about the league's on-going viability. Hopefully some of those will start to get answered at Sunday's first exhibition game.

The wife is out of town and I'm with our three boys. Very sorry to miss training camp but let's face it, it's not like an individual with an incredible physique like mine combined with an incredible roadhockey talent really needs the warmup. You guys brush up on your games in the hopes you will be able to compete come Oct 16th. That was Ryan Kesler's face photoshopped on my body by the way. The nerve of that guy!

There's a possibility, though I am living overseas, that I will attend this sunday. It depends on how sorry the babushka is, and if I navigate my way to new west minster.

I'll be there Sunday morning, hoping for a good turnout! My offseason workout regiment has been intense, and I am ready to crush the likes of Doo and Bam-Bam(if he ever gets healthy again).

Repeat! Repeat!
Where are those snipers and their ridiculous boasts about hat tricks and amazing scoring performances? See you Sunday morning... I need to make room for Turkey.
