Oshawa Generals hosted the Kingston Frontenacs over Thanksgiving weekend… the hospitality did not extend to the ice.
The Gens were up 4-0 after 2 periods and finished the game with a 7-2 victory.
The turkey may have slowed down the Frontenacs, but even a smaller amount if tryptophan would have been needed to give them the jump they would have required to get past the Oshawa team.

Second game of the pre-season, rematch from the earlier evening.
A youth movement with the Bulls rebuilding after a few years as the class of the east, the Frontenacs are expected to compete for first place in the OHL east.
At this time of the pre-season, you have players at NHL camps, lot of prospects, draft picks and the games provide the team management to watch the players in an OHL game situation and evaluate their future.
In the end, it was a 4-2 Belleville victory, with a good showing by the Bulls …

I finally got around to posting the images from the 2009 Hockey Summit Hootenany… but only from the Saturday night.
The Smurf Entry from Ottawa was a great combination of music and theatrics, it was hard to argue the impact they made and they topped it off with a Beer-a-mid at the conclusion of their perfomance.
Meat funked the crowd with with their own hockey inspired, booty-shakin’ grooves.
I am already thinking about the performances next year and promise to also be there to capture the Friday night performances.
