Southern Hospitality

140 Canadians and Hab-friendly guests turned out for the Fourth Annual Canadian Hockey Night in Atlanta in January, including special guest Ralph Mellanby, a former executive producer of CBC television's "Hockey Night in Canada." The Montreal Canadiens lost 1-0 to the Atlanta Thrashers, but a great time was had by all nonetheless.

Get Me to the Game on Time

New York alumnus and branch president Lloyd Olsson, BSc'83, went out of his way to cheer on the Martlets hockey team at a game in New Haven, Connecticut, in January. Alas, game time was moved forward and Lloyd missed the action, but he did manage to get himself into a team photo.
