Keep your stick on the ice
(March 2007)
The North American Cup will be
contested for this year without a Boston trip
Yes folks, it's official the 33rd edition of the North American
Cup will be occur on Canadian soil for the first time ever. Mark your calendar
for April 14th 2007. The game will take place at
the Bonaventure Arena on Cote de Liesse in Montreal. As a result, the final
Friday night game will be moved ahead to Good Friday (April 6th) instead of
April 13th.
The LTHC team will consist of
players that have supported the Boston trip over the last 32 years. This game
also replaces the annual invitational tournament will held its final event in
2006.

The 32nd and Final Boston Trip
As you read on the front page, Bustin Boston's last hurrah is
coming up in 2006. There are many reasons for this decision. Here are but a few:
-
It's getting harder
for the yanks to field a team of older guys for us to beat.
-
Most bus companies
have stopped going to the U.S.A. (probably because of insurance)
-
The ones that do are
charging exorbitant fees (probably
because of insurance)
-
We want to pull the plug
while we have enough strength to do so
-
We are all running of
precious brain cells
-
Many of the retired
players are having a hard time planning their vacations around the Boston
trip (Boo Hoo)
-
The organization of the
whole trip does take quite a bit of time and the few people involved have
better things to do.
-
Let's face it. We're not
that good anymore
-
The Wyder Cup annual golf
challenge has been so successful that we find it easier entering the
twilight years slowly swinging a club instead of watching little speed
skaters buzzing around you like mosquitoes.
This by no way means the end
of Monday and Friday hockey. That will go on forever as the next generation is
slowly filling in the gaps left by our older players injuries. Nevertheless, we
are also announcing the 10th and final Invitational tournament in April.
This decision is based on some of the factors above but also that one is getting
harder to organize every year as we try to top the previous year. This final
tournament will be a doozie as long as we find some entertainment. Johnny
Jetblack is not available this year. There is talk of trying to have a Chapeau
version of the Wyder cup to keep up the friendships that we have made in
Chapeau. More on the Invitational soon.
Remember. we are not getting
older, we are getting smarter. Click here for a

past.
