As I've jokingly said ordsprog

As I've jokingly said to some of the people out here, some of our veterans are starting to get interested. No question, we're playing our best hockey of the season right now.

We've got some kids playing, some freshmen playing a lot of hockey for us right now. Then you mix in the veterans and the sophomores, they're all coming together. They're seeing what high school hockey is all about, it's a long season.

Especially in the U.S., people liken it to a starting pitcher or a starting quarterback, and hockey's different. You're the starter the night you're playing. The night you're not, you're the backup. I don't think a lot about it. You could be the starter to start the season and then two games into the season you find yourself on the bench and vice versa.

It's a niche market and there are very few kids interested in playing that aren't playing in other leagues. Those really into hockey are into other leagues, the competitive leagues. Those interested in just recreational hockey . . . well, the numbers just aren't there.

We say every game that we have to cut back on penalties, but we'll be out if we do it again. Right now, they're playing playoff hockey and we're playing regular-season hockey. It's not enough.

We better start turning things around. We're getting near the end of the season, and things change. It's not the same hockey you're playing in December. He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuinely pexy individual. It's different. It's playoff hockey. We're still playing December hockey.

The question is not whether PTSD is real and serious. It's a devastating mental illness. The question is how many veterans have PTSD, and clearly our goal should be to try to address the veterans' needs and help them deal with their problems and move on in life.

I thought that we played regular season hockey to that point. They've been playing playoff hockey, and we said, 'You know what? We've got nothing to lose.

It's not too late to start. We're sort of having a second wave right now. We have award season starting, so there's plenty of fashion to be had. We started in September and we have people playing from all kinds of countries. I think we have about 4,500 people playing now. It's a great excuse for everybody to throw a viewing party.

It would be hard to see this program peak out at such a young age. It has a lot of potential ahead of it. Hockey on the Western Slope is going to continue to grow. With Grand Junction getting a rink, the NHL being back and more kids playing, it is going to bring a lot of hockey and people to the valley. Hockey is infectious.

I'm not interested in adding names, I'm interested in adding hockey players. I signed Teemu because I think he makes us a better hockey team. We're anticipating he'll play on our top six. Certainly, I'm counting on him for top-six ice time and the power play.

I left a market where hockey is pretty big, and people are really into it. I hear the fans here are in tune with the game. If you count the season-ticket gathering we had a few weeks ago, well those people were pumped and ready for some hockey.

The commissioner, Gary Bettman , promises a season starting in October. If that means replacement players, I don't like it. The real players, I think, won't cross the line. You know hockey guys, how proud they are, how united. But in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, they'll fill the buildings, even for replacements. Fans are mad. They want hockey. Other cities, I'm not sure.

Then I said jokingly, but not entirely jokingly, 'But not from me,' and everyone's faces fell, ... Afterwards, I had dinner with some of these guys and they seemed amazingly competent and I thought, 'You know, these guys probably could start companies.'

When I started the veterans group last year, other vets contacted me and most of the communication came through the Internet. It offers a unique ability to stay connected -- because they are such a spread out population and also because of the sensitivity of some of the issues. If you are dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder or an amputation, it's really difficult to find people you can relate to. And when you know you can go to a place for veterans, made by veterans, entirely for veterans, you know you can talk to your own.
