With the new NHL season underway, I thought I’d share our trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame this past summer.
Die hard hockey fans can spend hours in there.

One of the many highlights was the goalie mask for Zach Fucale of the Halifax Mooseheads that he wore during the 2012-2013 championship season when the Mooseheads won both the Memorial Cup and the President Cup.
It includes a sticker honouring former Mooseheads Public Address Announcer Pat Connolly who passed away that season.

Above: Ian with the display that contains the puck, gloves and stick of Cole Harbour’s Sidney Crosby that he used to score “The Golden Goal” with Team Canada in 2010 in Vancouver.
Ironically, there’s a Tim Hortons as you enter the Hall.
A replica of the Montreal Canadiens dressing room is a highlight for Habs fans.

It’s hard to believe, but my new book “The Ultimate Hockey Joke Book, Laugh Your Faceoff!” will soon be sold at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
If you ever get a chance to get to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, its a must visit on your list for any hockey fan.
