How the West was Won

I had to post this:

Gl*bal TV and their announcers supporting the Canucks in song - joining hip-hop artist Kyprios.

The song "How the West was Won" is available on iTunes and a portion of the proceeds will go to Canuck Place, which supports children with life-threatening and progressive illnesses and their families.

Good job! :)

Tiger Williams, hockey player
An aside here.

 Kyprios mentions "Tiger Williams" in the song......I saw "Tiger" (not the golfing one!) live once while volunteering at a Triathlon in the Okanagan.

He was riding past on a bike - one of the participants.

Back then, hockey players weren't as pretty - they were pretty much beat up looking guys with missing teeth and crooked noses - no protective head gear worn back then.

Tiger Williams was one of the most fierce fighters in professional hockey - an "enforcer",  breaking records for penalty minutes awarded - and still holds the most in a career at 3,966 minutes.    But - he also could deliver - scoring goals that would help keep Vancouver in the last run at the Stanley Cup in 1984.

He's also probably the only Hockey player to have published a cook book - "Done Like Dinner: Tiger in the Kitchen" (old paperback signed edition - $50!!) - with many hockey themed recipes.
