Thanks for the welcome.
Well the boys actually played an intimate show the first night they were here in what is called Canada House- a place for soldiers, sailors, airmen, airwomen and civilians to relax, watch TV and play a game of pool. There was a large crowd mingling, meeting former NHL stars and listening to the band. They invited some of the troops to join-in, playing guitar and singing. It was a great show.
The next evening they were the headliners on the main stage at the boardwalk- a short walk down from the Tim Horton's ( yes, it's popular with many nations here). They invited a military police officer to sing and play guitar to an original tune he wrote- surely an unforgettable moment for him. Once again a great show. The finale, Lost Together, saw rock star Jonas, east coast singer Lori Anna Reid and some NHL old-timers join in singing, smiling and having a great time.
The next day the band treated everyone to another show in Canada House and once again they invited the troops to have a shot at singing in front of the band. One female commented it was "way better than karaoke" after singing Stand By Me.
After the show they gave away copies of their latest CD, posed for pictures and signed autographs. It was a great experience and everyone had a great time.
About the ball hockey.....Greg was a trooper and played despite a couple injuries he suffered. Tough-as -nails!
