Wilderness Walk for 1-4-2012: Game Day Edition

On that note, enjoy the next four days under the control and guidance of the rest of the HW crew. I will be ice fishing and most likely enjoying a few adult beverages in the process. I shall report back if I can via Twitter, but where we're going, you don't need roads. I mean... there is no signal usually. So enjoy your break from me.

Back to hockey. The Walk is somewhat short, but you have a chance to help us win some donation money, and a small opportunity to read some news. Enjoy.

Get well soon, Jack. The entire hockey world is pulling for you.REMEMBER: You can always donate at Jack Jablonski's CaringBridge page - http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jackjablonski
