Speaking of hockey, the Canadian women's hockey team won the world championships last night in Halifax beating the other great team in the world, the USA.

We are particularly pleased as fourth cousin Gillian Apps was there scoring goals and stuff. Gillian is shown upper right playing for Dartmouth, her university team (which plays in the same league as St. Lawrence.)

To the upper left is her grandfather Syl Apps in, I think, 1937 holding the Stanley Cup he just won with the Toronto Maple Leafs in his rookie year, when he also won the Calder Cup for rookie of the year.

Lower left is him visiting EP now of Owen Sound, one of the longest standing Leafs fans of all time, in very natty white trousers in 1932 at 17 - before the 1936 Olympics where he was in the pole vault for Canada, before the Stanley Cup, before he fought in WWII, before he was a member of the Ontario Legislature.

Later: Here is a picture of Gillian #10 last night celebrating after the victory taken from TNS's website on the world championships.
