Ottawa 67's News Release


Our Ottawa 67's came out flying but just couldn't find a way to get the puck past Majors goaltender, and local boy, Chris Carrozzi. The 67's kept it close until a quick flurry of goals by the Majors midway through the second period. Our boys kept fighting, but just couldn't manage any goals aginst a tight Majors defence.

Yesterday's game was a very special one though as the man known across Canada as The Hockey Insider, Bob McKenzie, was present. Bob was here to help honour Tyler Toffoli and award him with his gold medal from the Ivan Hnlinka Memorial Tournament where he helped represent Team Ontario. Tyler was a real force in that tournament and played a big role in team Ontario's success. Great job Tyler!

Bob McKenzie was also here to promote his new book Hockey Dad...True Confessions of a Crazy Hockey Parent.. He autographed copies of his book for fans during the first and second intermission, but also stopped to talk to his supporters throughout the entire game. There was always someone who had him stopped and was telling him a story about their kids or about a fun hockey situation they found themselves in, and Bob always made time to listen. Thanks for stopping by Bob, I know the fans had a blast seeing you.

Last night's game wasn't all about the adults though as the kids managed to get in on the fun! The intermissions featured a future 67's game (pictured below) to go along with a Rogers fastest skater. Those kids were really flying out there! Great job guys and gals, you really put on a good show!

Catch up with us December 11th as we write to you from the stands when our boys faceoff against a tough Brampton team. Until then, remember, GO 67's GO!
