Happy Canada Day!!

9:56 AM ~ Alright, and now for the free agent news. I am still hoping to be home before free agency hits but it's not looking too promising. In this mornings Dispatch they put together a list of the free agents that we might be interested in. You can check it out here also, they did an article on our young talent which is pretty refreshing to hear. Check back for updates throughout the day.
