REMEMBRANCE DAY MASK....THE WAR MEMORIAL....MORE SUNSHINE

On Thursday night the HBWHOF watched the Montreal Canadiens - Phoenix Coyotes game on RDS.
RDS is the french version of TSN....which is the Canadian version of ESPN....
except it actually covers the NHL!!
The Canadiens won 4-2.
Montreal goaltender Carey Price wore this AWESOME mask as a Remembrance Day tribute to our veterans and soldiers....





The mask features a likeness of a wreath-laying soldier on one side, a bagpiper on the other and the words to John McCrae's World War I poem In Flanders Fields in both of Canada's official languages. Also featured are poppies and a yellow ribbon of support for our country's troops. The words Lest We Forget/N'Oublions Pas frame the ribbon.
Price's special mask will eventually be auctioned to benefit the Canadian Forces' charitable work with its members and their families through
Wounded Warriors.

Here's the mask prior to the cage being attached. The photos are courtesy of the mask's designer - David Arrigo....




The HBWHOF paid a visit to the National War Memorial this morning....
