Shawinigan is my second home, where I’m heading this week. Congrats to the Cataractes, to Shawinigan and its rabid fans, among whom number many of our friends and relatives. This is a big deal in the small towns across Canada, posted on the front sport pages of metropolitan daily newspapers across Canada, and big enough news to share with you on a US holiday weekend, which I hope you are enjoying! – Lee Adler
