"I couldn’t help but think of the time Mike Milbury went into the stands at Madison Square Garden and beat a fan with his own shoe. That would never have happened at Maple Leaf Gardens."

117 years ago this evening the Dawson City Klondikers played the second (and final) game of their 1905 Stanley Cup challenge against the Ottawa Hockey Club. The final score was 23-2. “One-Eyed” Frank McGee scored 14 goals #klondikers

@timfalconer Hey Tim, hope this finds you well. I added three verses and a chorus to Kilcoursie's "The Hockey men" with the tune set to the Old Polina, you can listen to a basic version here musescore.com/user/5846986/s… #Klondikersthemusical
My annual blog post about the music I loved in the past year. Probably not like any other list but maybe you’ll find something that strikes your fancy timfalconer.com/my-favourite…
