Darryl Hunt: WorSharks At The Quarter Pole

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:43:00 -0500

The Worcester Sharks hit the Thanksgiving holiday with just a little over a quarter of their season over. Worcester’s 11-10-0-1 record and 23 points puts them in a tie for fifth in the Atlantic Division, but is actually good enough for sixth in the Eastern Conference. Based on the playoff format in the AHL this season, should the fifth place team in the Atlantic division have more points than the fourth place team in the East division, that team would cross over and make the divisional playof...

Back during the college hockey playoffs we reported the dire straits in which the Bowling Green hockey program had found itself -- the historic program, which produced both Rob Blake and Hobey Baker winner George McPhee -- was on life support. However winds of promising puck change have swept through that campus of late: $4 million has been pledged to the program for renovation of the Falcons' rink, with $1.5 million of that coming from the state of Ohio in these budget trauma times. A ve...

After all, it's just a reminder that rich people had lame hobbies in the past. There's a reason horse racing is called the Sport of Kings and it's not because Rob Blake is a big fan. If you need any more evidence, the freaking Queen of England will be there, and it's not the first time she's gone to the Derby.
