It's a damn shame.



Millionaire owners and millionaire players are screwin' with the game in a fight over money - I'm making a point of supporting the local teams this year with my attendance and my money. Saw my first Brampton Battalion's game and it was a lot more enjoyable than I expected.

I sent a letter to the Maple Leafs telling them the league can lock out the players as long as they like, but to not expect my support when they come back - and that's 6 season's tickets in my family talkin'

On the bright side, this lockout might actually be good for the grass roots side of the game if all NHL fans make a point of looking for hockey alternatives.
