Ken Dryden was a towering figure in the crease and a principled gentleman off the ice: Great athletes are uncommon. Great athletes who are also great people are rare as that rarest of birds, the Stresemann’s Bristlefront of Brazil. The Canadiens and the fans of Montreal are fortunate to have had two such men, Dryden and Jean Béliveau. Dryden was in the net in Moscow when Paul Henderson scored to give Canada the victory over Red Army in the greatest hockey series ever played.

They want to go to compete and put the name Venezuela and Latin American on high. They don’t represent any threat, they are 15-year-olds that want to win the world series.”

As a Raptors fan, I was disappointed when Kawhi left, and it's been a bumpy road as the club rebuilds.
However, as time has gone on, so thankful MLSE didn't get him signed.

Is it true that all attendees to the tournament will receive bandsaws or just the journalists?
