    YEAH BABY!

    Finally a lacrosse fan on this site! You don't know how hard I've tried to turn some of my American mates onto this sport. Even in cities with teams, they just aren't interested.

    Calgary is a great team. I loved that they won the Champions Cup in '04. So the Rush open their games with Tom Sawyer? I didn't know that. That would be enough to make me a Rush fan. Lacrosse that is. I'm already a Rush fan musically.

    My heart is with the Rock of course. This will be our fourth year as season ticket holders. With five championship wins in seven years ('99 - '05), this team Rocks, literally. We had a bad start last year, but with Glen Clark taking the lead as Head Coach this season, it should be a good one.

    And with new teams in Chicago and New York and live Saturday night TV coverage on OLN this year, the popularity of this sport can only grow.

    I just hope that growth doesn't mean increased ticket prices. I can get a full season of lacrosse for the same cost as only one Leafs ticket.

    Yeah, but who really pays money to watch the Leafs? Our office hear in NB holds 4 season tickets, we use for perks and tax write-offs as far as I know - you should take the 401 east, then run up Highway 7 to see some real hockey played.

    But yeah, I do like the Rock, they're pretty awesome, and very well managed...year after year. Time for a cooler jersey though.

    Dunno if they Rush play Tom Sawyer every game, but I definitely caufght it last year twice. They play a few Rush tunes throughout the game, suits me fine...

    Chicago named their team the Shamrox, when does NY reveal theirs?

    According the the New York team's web site they will be announcing the name....."shortly".

    Your NB office has Leafs tickets? No wonder every friggin game is sold out and the ordinary fans like us can't get seats. We talked about driving to Ottawa for a Leafs game this year. Seems like that's the only way to see our team in person.

    You know, if you ever have a couple of seats that you just can't get rid of, I'd be happy to take them off your hands for you. I'd even pay for them.

    As for the Rock jerseys, the best jersey's that they had were the first year. The logo was the CN Tower leaning over and playing a guitar. Totally cool. Don't know why they changed it. And for music, you gotta love Helix. GIMME AN R! GIMME AN O! etc.

    As much as I hate winter. I love lacrosse season!!!!!

    We visit TO a lot to meet a lot of company execs of firms we hold in our portfolio...It use to be they would take people like me to Leafs games, but soft dollar crooks put an end to a lot of that...I can't sell you any, but I've never gone to a game and not been approached by scalpers. Too expensive for the Leafs though. I see Sens games for $40 or less on average, Thrashers games for $30 or less. Sometimes under $20 and in modern arenas, even the cheap seats aren't far from the ice.
