Way to go Joe!!! One of my all-time favorite Attack players. Let's hope this is the start to a length stay in the big show.

Congrats to Hishon. My 2nd favourite Attack player after Maidens.

LOL... I forgot that they claimed him... At first I was thinking that you were claiming Stratford as "London" like Toronto claims everything around them..

Joey was one of the few Attack players I met personally over the years he was here and he was always great to talk to. Cameron Brace as well, another of my all time favorites.

Any word on Maidens? I assume he has yet to shake off the effects of his concussion. Absolute shame. Great kid!

He's officially done with high level hockey and has moved on.
