For the first time since I started organizing the LFA, I had to stay away from the action yesterday due to some knee issues. So, for this article, I will be brief and prompt you to check the "While sipping a last one" link to view the article written by the hand of the vice president of hockey operations of the LFA, who was on hand to run the show and can give you a recap of the events of Saturday's showdowns. I'll also invite you to visit our picture section to see the best photos of January with several "killer shots" from Larry, Mike and Bruno Petrozza. At the same time, I also would also remind you that the works of Art on the first page signed Jacob Poliquin await your offers in our silent auction which will close at our end of season gala during which 50% of sales revenue will go to funding the league and its numerous activities.

As it was the last game of the month yesterday you also had your last opportunity to participate in the 50-50. There are also two other lucky winners of two bonus gifts. Namely, a $ 75  Sports Experts gift certificate courtesy of Solomax Projects and a mystery prize offered by the LFA. Here are the numbers.

I also learned that Joe Villacrusis donated a signed Max Talbot stick that was used in a Colorado Avalanche game. This will undoutedlty contribute to the excitement surrounding the LFA and will be used during our next event which we hope you will all participate in.

Do not forget to vote for the LFA player of the month powered by Sher-Wood in the LFA Space section so we can crown a player among us who will receive a pair of gloves courtesy of the folks at Sher-Wood Hockey.
