he's a ''character''... for sure.. but i wouldn't call him ''awesome'', but that's just me. Other than throw his cap up in the air and catch it.. Miner doesn't do much.
Don't forget though, we sit next to him. He's our favourite of the random friends that we've made in section 11.

I do like when there are characters.. and we used to have many at Guertin in the old days.
My other favourite guy is the drunk guy from section 3 who is always harassing opposing players in the penalty box, to the point where security has to come tell him to settle down a few times a game.
As far as I can tell Taylor Burke is your top player this year eligble for the upcoming 2012 draft, I didn't really notice him in the games I went to last year, I was wondering if some-one could give me a idea of what type of player he is and what kind of upside he has?
Also any other players on the team I should keep an eye on this year as potential draftee's would be appreciated.
I am expecting a breakout season from Taylor Burke.
Strong power forward with solid offensive skills.
I have seen him at training camp and he is looking pretty good.
As for potential draftees among the rookies, you can keep an eye on forwards Tomas Hyka and Emile Poirier, as well as goaltender Chris Clarke.
Totally agree - as a student in Ottawa in the late '90's always enjoyed heading to "the Bob". Atmosphere is far greater in Hull vs. any Ottawa 67's contest. Does the guy with "Miner" on the back of his sweater still prowl around the rink? He was severly booed once at a 67's game lol...
He also got kicked out of the 99 Mem cup finals when he got into a fight with a Calgary hitman fan lol. What a legend.
I'm an Anglo-Ontarian, and even I wouldn't do that! Actually, I plan to make myself a Purple/Black/Orange barberpole Olympiques sweater for just such an occasion!
They look great, and I am quite pleased with them, but I want some colour in an alternate jersey or something. I was on board with the new jerseys by the end of the first period against Val-d'Or.
A Black/Silver/White barberpole sweater might come at some point though...
Mostly because I love the LA Kings ones, but with the logo those are beauties.
I really want to order one in.
I was so so on them at first, but I've started to really like them. My main criticism is that I would have like there to be waist stripes, rather than just thin hem stripes. I'm always leery of black jerseys, especially in the edge-era, but these are a pleasant surprise.
Now that I've seen them on the ice 4 times, I've come to think that they're just as nice as the old ones. I have yet to personally see the white ones on the ice though, maybe I'll order tomorrow's game in Victoriaville... I don't feel like driving four hours tomorrow.

I checked the Olympiques website, and river city sports, and there was nothing. I might have to get a family member to go down to a game, and send me a jersey.

They sell them at the Bob and at Duguay Sports on Taché. Possibly elsewhere, but I don't know.
