I'll be wearing my Poppy tommorow coaching on the bench in the wack. I'll make sure we have our minute of silence in the dressing room after!

A moment of silence at the 11th hour would be a classy move and great way to show respect  :) during the game

1941 my Uncle died returning from bombing mission. The Wellington bomber with 5 other crew was on approach to Yarmouth when friendly spotters shone light on plane. Blinded pilot plane crashed and burned. Did some research and recieved interesting documentation, any way i wasnt born yet 1945, but i will b remembering today.

The whole rink gave a moment of silence at 11:00.
Very impressive to not hear that many people!

Was at the cabin on Rembrance Day.Chase has a large population of Vets.Many local roads are named for locales in the two great wars.I remembered this year by visiting Juno beach in Normandy.My Dad was driving a landing craft during the invasion.The museum was special for me as a Canadian as well.
