Boss -- You mention Dale Hunter...what a great player he was for the Caps. When he played for the Caps he lived in the same Upper Marlboro/Bowie Md neighborhood as a good college friend of mine. My friend said that Dale had some neighborhood parties and was a super guy...never mentioned hockey, didn't get tanked and ugly, was just your average guy - except for one thing -- he was maybe 5'10" but he had gigantic wrists, forearms, and calves.
My friend always said -- I pity the fool who tries to break into Dale's house!

Seems like a great guy... and he's a great coach. He's a huge reason that they walked all over every team in Candian Hockey league this year... including the 'mighty' Oceanic.
Not only that, he and his brother are great owners... they turned a laughing stock of a team (less than 5y ago) into the best team junior hockey has ever seen. on top of that... the Knights announced today that if youwant season tix for next year... too bad... they're completely sold out. There are a lot of owners that would love to have that problem.
They're profitable, they're greatly talented (and deep) and to me the Hunters handle the next stage of theior hockey careers like they handled being a player, with class and tenacity.
