Head Tale

In the photo below, Sasha seems to be saying “Dad, if you raise your fist to this guy, you’re going to lose!”

That’s not too far-fetched actually since, when I stepped up for my photo, I accidentally bumped into Wendel as I moved to stand beside him.

“Hey, keep the elbows down!” he quipped and I was able to reply, “At least I’ll be able to tell people I’ve bodychecked Wendel Clark!” 😉

(Luckily he didn’t level me right there!)

At any rate, what an honour to meet a childhood hero and one of the best NHLers to ever come out of Saskatchewan, #17 – Wendel Clark, during Rogers “Hometown Hockey” tour stop in Regina today.

Here’s a great video that shows what made Wendel so special…

In a completely unrelated note (thankfully!), Shea and I went out to participate in a research project being conducted by a former colleague’s daughter who is completing her PhD.  She’s researching the psychology of pain and after having a device placed on my arm that tested a person’s pain threshold, my competitive spirit forced me to ask how I fared against other men who’d done the test.  She said there were only a couple participants who’d maxed out the pain metre and I was just a hair shy of that level.  (I reached 49/50 on her measuring tool.)
