    We are thinking this even for our keepers. What's 40 bucks?.... Great idea, Shake.

    I think the "charity league" idea is outstanding. Even better if sponsored by Dobber, and the winner receives some free merch / prospect guides / fantasy guides, etc.

    Seems like a win-win for everyone involved. Cheers.

    Why me? I can feed you what you need for this, Shakedown. Let's do it together and that offer stands for anyone else on the forums.

    Hey - great news Scribe - thanks for writing it - any chance I get to see it?

    By the way, since you submitted that article - Ryan Ma and Gainerama stepped up big time and donated all the funds required for a year to underwrite all the cost associated with a young fellow getting Type 1 diabetes.

    That's normally a death sentence out in the jungle - but our guys were generous enough to ensure not only medical supplies and medicine he needs, but also a cell phone to contact the doctor if he gets in trouble and his bi-monthly transportation costs to the diabetes clinic for intensive testing and education.

    This is a big deal because his family lives well below the poverty line.

    Yeah, I would love to see that article as well. Normally I would just go out any buy the magazine, but the Hockey News is a rare creature in New Zealand. It would be appreciated if someone could post it somewhere for us to read.

    You can view it or buy it in digital format.

    www.thehockeynews.com. Go to the bottom of page and look for the cover. Headline says "Great Red Hope" and has Red Wings.

    You can view the page (Page 13) up close and print it off (for free) or if you want the whole issue, you can buy it.

    Hope this helps.

    That's great news, Shoeless. I would love to mention that on Twitter or on my blog. Would Ryan and Gainerama mind if mentioned their names?

    Pretty much an ongoing thing, als_revenge. 8000 Cambodian people will die this year from diabetes related causes.

    If you would like to give and cut that number down, I will make sure the money gets there.
