It’s Veterans Day here, Remembrance Day up there, and so we remember, 90 years after the end of the War to End All War, who knows how many wars later. If you’re a veteran: many thanks.
From the league’s daily “Quick Hits”: 3 — American Hockey League players who died during service to their country, according to a list compiled by the Society for International Hockey Research… Dudley “Red” Garrett (Canadian Navy), Mark Maveety (Royal Canadian Air Force) and Joe Turner (U.S. Army) were all killed in action during World War II.
(Book plug: Margaret MacMillan’s Paris 1919: Six Months that Changed the World, about the aftermath of World War I.)
Anyway, while the hope is you’ve got the day off, for those who don’t, we’ll see if we can’t do some kinda liveblog off of our buddy Grady Whittenburg’s Binghamton radiocast. If you can listen in, here’s the link.
Meanwhile on the Island, Josh Bailey is playing. If we can still listen to one game and watch another, we’ll try to take a peek at that, too. Colin Powell’s conducting the ceremonial faceoff. Hurray, the Bronx.
And then we’ll work on not talking about ourself in the plural.
