When and why was the first NHL All Star game held? (Answer on page 5) March 17-23, 2022 Volume 20 Issue 11 St. Patrick’s Day This Thursday, March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. Here in Canada it is basically a celebration of everything Irish. Make sure you are wearing something green for good luck that day. Lots of pubs will be dyeing their beer green to help celebrate. Enjoy whatever you are doing that day. No dialysis for me so I am lucky that day already, woohoo.
Spring Equinox The Spring Equinox is the first day of spring season and occurs when the sun passes the equator moving from the southern to the northern hemisphere. The North Pole begins to lean toward the sun again. Day and night have approximately the same length. Spring Equinox is always near 20 March. This year it is at 11:33 am on Sunday, March 20.
Luck of the Irish Did you hear about the man who found a four-leaf clover in a poison ivy patch? He had a rash of good luck.
Fish Bus Orion’s Seafood Bus will be here next weekend, March 26 and 27. I am not sure
where he will be locating as his previous spot is under construction. If you have a spot that you think might work please let me know and I will pass it on. I really enjoy his high quality seafood.

Rockies Hockey A fantastic season and strong playoff performance by the Columbia Valley Rockies this year. They finished only one point behind the Kimberley Dynamiters in the regular season. They defeated the Fernie Ghostriders in the first playoff round and went six games against Kimberley in the next round. I believe they had some great fan turn out (I was unable to attend), especially through the playoffs. Congratulations and good luck to the Kimberley Dynamiters as they go into the next series with home ice advantage over the Nelson Leafs.
