Guess it's not largely unlike how New York......no matter which team.....gets much in the way of affection here in the States from anyone outside the 5 boroughs.  Also, those of us from the States who are illiterate as to how these Junior teams operate financially have difficulty understanding how those kinds of dots connect to the League.  You mentioned the Knights;  I know they're a big deal in London.....I used to travel there annually in and around the Tavares days to visit a customer.....and distinctly recall Dale Hunter's role as a big wig.  I admit I don't know Mark Hunter, but I assume he's Dale's brother and another member of the ruling clan.  I didn't know you pulled particularly for the Petes;  what I myself always liked like about the Major Juniors (whether the O, Q, or W) from a distance is how so many small towns in Canada can enjoy legitimate, first class play (no matter who you pull for in the League).  I also love some of the great team nicknames;  in particular, it's hard not to like any team which calls itself the Hitmen <img src="http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/3dgrin.r191677.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> BTW, I read this morning that Christian Ehrhoff, in fact, practiced and took contact yesterday;   and is apparently now considered day-to-day.  Reading between the lines, I'm guessing he might not dress for Game #1, but might be a decent chance for Game #2.  Talk about needing this guy in the lineup........</blockquote>
