By Aaron Holm -
If I wasn't sick as a dog, I'd hug each and every one of you Wilderness. Though that logistically makes no sense, I am just pleased as punch that we have made it through another off-season. It feels like a long time when you are excited for hockey, some folks who don't understand this passion as well seem to feel like hockey never ends (don't we wish).
The wait is over Wilderness, we made it through another off-season together and eagerly await when it's our turn to take the ice. The season is upon us, so don't forget to adjust your fantasy rosters!
