First attempt for hockey kilt

My eyesight must be failing. I didn't even notice the bottles in the tree until I looked again! I only noticed the boxes! Now that I look closely I believe I also spy Labatt Blue, yes? Alas, I keep away from John Labatt now; too many memories of high school keg parties!

I just realized you are from Kitchener, I use to play up there as a kid we had an arrangement with the teams up there that the kids would stay with a kid from the team up there and they would do the same. We always got to go to Kitchener Rangers games. Good times. The Labatt Blue hat was going to correspond with a couple of Blue bottles, but I bought a keg instead. So no bottles.

Yeah, Kitchener is a nice city. My wife and I have only lived here for about 6 years now but I think it's where we'll stay. Since it's in the centre of southwestern Ontario it's close to all the other major cities. Before that, I've lived in various places in Ontario and abroad in Ireland. Whereabouts is Harrisburg? I've been to Pennsylvania once, but just to Philly, and that was on a school trip many moons ago.

So, why is there such a Buffalo fan in PA?
Did you come from the land of the wing originally?
I have found MANY, MANY Buffalo transplants down here. Most just got sick of the frigid cold.

Both my wife and I are originally from Buffalo I have been in PA for about 7 years, after college, I followed jobs for a while and this is where I ended up. Lots of transplants from Buffalo due to weather, high taxes and lack of jobs.

I'm sure when Charmin had to donate toilet paper to city hall so they could have some doesn't bode too well:rolleyes: . My friend Bill told me. His family is from North Collins, and most still live there. I call him "Buffalo Bill!"

He is related to the Austins/Keiths and married a Campbell girl. By contrast, I am related to the MacNeils, Wallaces, probably the Gordons (by Todd) and claim GUNN (by the Wilsons, though hit a wall in that part of family too in actual geneology). I love to pick on him with the Gunn/Keith thing.
He keeps me updated on the Bill and Sabers, and sometimes the Bisons (though he is more a football and hockey fan).

The kilt looks nice, Gotta jersey to wear with it yet? I'd LOVE to see how they look together!

I don't have the new slug jersey (they are pretty hard to get right now) My wife does have a vintage home jersey (white) that I will probably wear with this kilt. It is now washed, and it seemed to hold togeher well, so when I take the pictures for the show us your pictures section I will wear that jersey with it.
