THE TEAM 990 SHOW HOST BLOGS

Greetings from Quebec City, Quebec and the Gold Medal game of the 2008 World Championships. Canada leads Russia 3-1 after one period of play and Le Colisee is rocking! This is as Canada Head Coach Ken Hitchcock put it, old hockey, like the Boston Garden, the Montreal Forum or the Aud in Buffalo.“I can see the faces of the fans in the front row of the balcony, it’s a great atmosphere,” Hitchcock said.Hitchcock is right and being here the last week, there has to be some way to get these fine hockey fans here in Quebec City a NHL team again. Speaking to Patrick Roy the other night, he admitted that he always wanted to play for the Nordiques and had mixed feelings his first few seasons with the hated Canadiens.Game back on but I’ll be back to fill you in on the second period and also what has been an amazing hockey adventure!
