    This is what hockey is all about. It's not about the Leafs being unable to score against a Zamboni driver. It's about Carolina's players treating him with respect, and then playing their hearts out to give the team a chance. It's about the Toronto crowd cheering his effort. It is the obvious passion for the game that David Ayres has. I'd love to see his reception back in Whitby by his Bantam AA team. Well done David.

We played with tens of thousands of guys and majority of them never had the skill set to play juniors. Some NHL players go right from Junior A hockey to Pro or draft. They need to change the name from “Junior” because it’s as close to semi pro hockey as it gets. This guy you called average, probably played since he was 4 or 5 years old. What am insult to hockey players everywhere man.
