It is with great sadness to say that we have lost a great friend and a long term member of the KCOHL. Jim Graham lost his fight with cancer on Oct 31/13. Jim always loved to play hockey and enjoyed the guys and the beer afterwards. He was always there to help and participate in any club activities. Please, let’s have a beer or two and remember our good buddy and fellow hockey lover, Jim Graham.  The funeral is this coming Saturday at 2pm at the Alliance church.

As part of the Movember campaign to raise awareness about men’s health issues, Dave Standing is participating and I’m hoping lots of people will show their support either by growing or donating. Trevor Gordon has kindly donated a BP gift card as an incentive for all those who donate to Dave’s Movember page. We’ll pick the names from the league members who donate on Dave’s Movember page and draw from a hat for the gift certificate. The winner to be announced on the website in very early December. Good luck and get growing (but not til next month)
