Not the most flattering picture, but I'll never forget how excited I was to meet this amazing man. He signed a hat for me which I have locked away in a safe until I can get a special hat display. Might sound nuts, but I learned after my daughter lost half the team's signatures on a hat she accidentally mixed in with the laundry. I may never get another chance to meet him, so I'm taking no risks! So back to the interview! Again, here's the link if you'd like to watch it (Question at 39:00) : http://video.canadiens.nhl.com/videocenter/?id=822515&catid=66 **Credit to Jade Baiser for the French translation: "In November, Mr. Molson stated in an interview with the Gazette that the Canadiens would welcome an openly gay player on their roster. As a former Hab, do you think the atmosphere in the locker room would make acceptance that easy?" En Novembre, M. Molson a déclaré dans une interview à la Gazette que les Canadiens accueilleraient un

I don't believe that. I don't think anyone does. According to some studies, 10% of the population is homosexual. There are aprox 690 active players in the NHL and 1500 contracted players. You do the math. Why is it that every other professional sport has had at least one player come out within the last few years, but hockey players remain silent? There could be many reasons, but my own experience leads me to believe the organization still has a long way to go.  The media may be part of what's tripping them up. To be honest, I didn't want to get into all this because I see the strides happening in professional sports and I tend to look at the positive. Players in different sports are coming out. The media is making it possible for them to reach the fans and show acceptance. The YOU CAN PLAY project is supported by some of the players I love. Changes are happening. While doing research, I came across this special by TSN which is a must see: TSN Original-Re/Ori

This question has been asked by quite a few people, so I figured I should address it here. I have discussed it briefly in the Cobra discussion group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/143748802468093/ Not everyone is there though. You should really join! <g> Anyway, the question is: 'Will we really have to wait until 2016 for the next Cobra book, Line Brawl?' The answer? Maybe. The dilemma is that as much as I love our boys, I have several other projects going that I can't put off. Fans of the Deadly Captive books have every right to be pissed by how long it's taken to get the last book of the trilogy out. Many know why I couldn't put it out sooner, but that's irrelevant when it comes down to the fact that the book needs to get out there. Celestial Pets is another book that's had some delays. Thankfully, I'll be releasing the full book in August. I'll have a pre-order link up soon so you all can grab it if you want. I love the book and I hope y
