Cornwall Ontario – Our city councilor here in Cornwall, Claude McIntosh, actually once wrote about me having to do all the jobs here at CFN as though it were something to be embarrassed about or amateur.

Cornwall Ontario – I’ve been a big fan of the salary cap, especially as I created one of the first Rotisserie style hockey league systems way back in the late 80’s. It makes a lot of sense. However the NHL under the long tenure of Commissioner Gary Bettman has changed the game dramatically. Yes, Bettman […]
