		<title>Jeff Bourne: 2010 Sledge Hockey Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
For those of you who&#8217;ve been long-time blog readers, you know my brother Jeff is one of those people you&#8217;re blessed to get to know.
Us, with our fantasy camp&#39;s VT Cup. Familiar? ---&#62;
A number of months ago, Jeff was accepted to be one of Canada&#8217;s hosts for the Paralympic games &#8211; it took an interview process, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chris Chelios: Double U. Tee. Eff?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
{Qualifier: the author of this blog respects the career and accomplishments of NHL great Chris Chelios.  But, you know&#8230; come on now.}
Okay, let&#8217;s talk about this:  Does he need money, or hate his family? 
Give me a third possible reason for why he&#8217;s still playing, and know that saying &#8220;for the love of the game&#8221; will get you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Inside The Dressing Room: Kangaroo Court &amp; Apologies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
I&#8217;ve written before about players putting money towards the team pot for big wins.  In that bit, I danced around the best aspect of raising that year-end fund (which, of course, goes to a pizza and pop party that definitely wouldn&#8217;t involve, say, a strip club). 
Kangaroo Court.
A lot of people are familar with the concept, as a lot of organizations use [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Suspension For Cooke &#8211; Idiocy Revealed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
I received a great email from a reader today, which I think people should see.  He made the following point:
&#8220;Campbell said the Richards hit set a precedent. I&#8217;ve not had a problem with the NHL&#8217;s suspensions and reasons for suspension this season unlike many others, but this one is absolutely ridiculous. There have been a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Call-Up I Should&#8217;ve Declined</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Here&#8217;s my favourite call-up story:
As you probably know by now, I&#8217;m engaged to Clark Gillies Daughter, Brianna.
At the time of this story, I was playing for the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL (that&#8217;s me on the left, shortly before my coach became the 64th one I&#8217;ve had tell me to smile less.  Hey, I like [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;ll Take Potpourri For A Thousand, Alex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Not that my blog is particularly focused in the first place, but I&#8217;m due to unload a whole crapload of half-baked thoughts.  Some may be on the same page as you, some may be a complete waste of seconds of your life, but hey &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty sure it was the variable interval schedule of rewards that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Options For Avenging a Cheapshot Are Pretty Limited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Interesting timing &#8211; I was going through some columns that I had deemed unfit to release from a few months ago, and found this one about what David Booth can do to avenge getting his brain shaken by Mike Richards (short answer: nothing).  But after Matt Cooke played the role of Richards in a recent re-enactment with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Little Insight Into &#8220;Show Dough&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Occassionally, I&#8217;m going to do a little feature called call-up madness, explained, where I&#8217;ll answer any questions you have (email me) about what goes on behind the scenes of an NHL farm system.  Today, I&#8217;ll talk about something I never personally got to experience, but still know how it works from being around it.  You [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Trade Deadline Ends. Thankfully.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Not sure if you caught it yesterday, but David Booth squared up and fought Mike Richards last night, which was the greatest thing in the history of the NHL ever.  I think.  Oh, and he had a goal and three assists.  And he&#8217;s on my fantasy hockey team.  I love David Booth.
Puttin&#39; on the foil.
Think Team [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trade Deadline Live Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
There&#8217;s nothing more deflating than waking up for the ever-exciting trade deadline day and realizing it probably won&#8217;t be that exciting, ever.
That said, there&#8217;s too many teams missing puzzle pieces for nothing to happen, so let&#8217;s hold our breath until it does, and talk it out here &#8212; LIVE BLOG, WEEEE!
