HENEGHAN & BANJO AT THE PREGAME LUNCH
Arrival Day... Heneghan says the Beard is a couple weeks old. Banjo guessed he had been working it since stepping off the ice last year. about 8 new faces will be wearing Suns jerseys this weekend down at the Tampa Senior Nationals, including "Sparky" and "Whitey," illustrious alums from Hamilton college. As Glenn Hunter said at lunch, "There are three kinds of people, Suns, Suns wannabes, and people who haven't yet discovered they are Suns wannabes." Terry Heneghan piped in, "Don't forget the fourth category, Suns that no longer want to be associated," so I guess we are up to 4 categories. Sluggo Johnson did some quality recruiting, picking up an excellent puck-handling goalie named Tony Benson, and a tireless "young'en" John Miller. Sluggo was scouting the Michigan club getting in a practice session in Brandon. "They can all skate...they picked up (NHL sniper) John Ogrodnick also." Suns will catch Michigan Sting on Friday, but have to take care of the Hosers from Washington D.C. Thursday night. In these tourneys, opening night victories take you a long way toward that elusive medal round. Glenn Hunter has a 6:30 meeting in the lobby and then we're off. No Goody Bag this year, no water bottle and lipbalm giveaways, just a chance to meet Whitey, Sparky and the rest of the Suns wannabes that will be full fledged Suns by the end of the night.
