Hello delayed reaction.... sorry about that, I seem to be horrible at replying to posts.

Do you mind if I ask where in Canada they came from?

Well, the Fogartys all from the Toronto area--that's my adopted line. Then there are the Canadian loyalists who fled Connecticut on my blood line--they're Botsfords and also in the Toronto area. Then there are all the French-Metis on my blood line--Dion, Coullier, Brulotte.(Yes, I'm distantly related to the quints and the singer.) They started off Quebecois and ended up near Lake Athapasca. Then there's my uncle, and he's works at UA in Edmonton.

Heh. I just saw this post! I have to say that watching amateur hockey is better than the NHL, cause they're not getting paid big bucks and stuff. NHLers annoy me for that reason. Of course, I'd still watch them if they were back. ;)

Oh, and I loved the article!
