    I just double checked for you, and its on Grant Avenue. Its right by the Assiniboine Forest. Kickoff is at 5:00, and the parents at their school have a deal where you can get 2 hotdogs, 2 hamburgers, or one of each, a bag of chips and a drink for 5 bucks. If you are able to make it, Ill be number 81 on the green team haha.

    summer has been busy, I guess I am the only one in the world who is glad it is coming to and end! ... sometimes I think that is how I turned out to be more a Hockey fan than a football fan growing up, hockey always went on the same calendar as school so there is nowhere else I can be than at home, wisely following games! lol

    I am glad it is going well in the CFL section, I try to keep up with the updates as much as I can.

    can't wait for the sundin case to be over ... could he sign with the Flyers that I would not care anymore! lol
