It is on the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh day of the Eleventh Month of each year that we Remember our True Heroes. Today, November 11 of 2025, Ginger Donkey Hockey Salutes the Men and Women who have sacrificed everything and / or put themselves at risk to keep us free and safe. We salute all of the past and current members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Allies.
We also salute the men and women on the front lines of our society today who may be preforming other significant roles who also put their own personal safety at risk to help keep us safe. They include but are not limited to folks in the Canadian Armed Forces / local, provincial and federal Police Forces / Coast Guard / Ambulance / Fire / Medical – doctors and nurses / and others on the Front Line.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
WE REMEMBER YOU!
Because of your efforts, we can enjoy the activities and events that have become welcome distractions from the numerous stressors and risks in life.
On this site, we enjoy our hockey. The Stars of Hockey have become household names in Canadian homes. They have become idols to many.
But we must remember that hockey is a game. At the professional level there are many rewards, for playing a game. The stars become idols. Yet, they are able to play a game for a livelihood because of our true heroes.
Lest We Forget!
Stay safe and keep your stick on the ice.
Greetings. In introducing myself, I must relate that family is most important. I am a husband, father and grandfather. Beautiful extended family. I was born in the 60’s. Graduated from Laurentian University in Sudbury in 1985 with a degree in Social Work. Recently retired.
Sports has been and continues to be my foremost outlet for stress. I have been a coach/ trainer on over 40 youth teams, including hockey, baseball and soccer. Hockey is my number one sport. Began playing as a young child and continue to play several times per week. Huge Fan. I am not an expert per say when it comes to having close contacts to the hockey world. Still have expertise as a Fan. I have probably earned some form of “Hockey PTSD” over the years with the highs and lows of the cheering for the Leafs. I want to respectfully share my opinion and respectfully view your opinions. Should be fun. Keep your stick on the ice.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
