Ford rooted for Oilers -- Former United States President Gerald Ford had a great affinity for the Edmonton Oilers according to a fascinating story by Jim Matheson in the Edmonton Journal.
In their playing days, Oilers' coaches Craig MacTavish and Craig Simpson had the opportunity to know the late former U.S. President Gerald Ford.
Ford, who died Tuesday at age 93, was on the board of former Oilers owner Peter Pocklington's Gainers meat packaging plant, and every winter for about 10 years, the Oilers and Pocklington's business associates would play golf with Ford in California.
"The last thing you'd expect as a hockey player was being on a team bus, pulling up to a president's house," said former Oilers winger Charlie Huddy.
"He was a real gentleman and always seemed more interested in your life than what he did. He was a fun person to be around," said coach Craig MacTavish.
"We got to taste a part of life that many people don't," said assistant coach Craig Simpson, who was a player at the time. "We could involve ourselves in his daily life and get to go into his home to see the pictures on the wall with all the dignitaries.
"I always thought it must be a drag for him to have to entertain us, but I had a few candid conversations with the president and Mrs. Ford, and we did talk about our colleges. I was at Michigan State, we talked about the rivalry."

Isn't the line after that something incredibly prolific like "Susan, you're fired"?
All right, here we go again:
Street Hockey
New Year's Eve Afternoon, December 31st, at 2:00 (we're not going to be playing after dark (which, in Edmonton now is about 4:30), so hopefully we're not stepping on any New Years plans...). There's a bit of a change in location. We're going to try Westbrook Elementary School at the corner of 40th Avenue and 119 Street. On the 119th Street side of the field, there are a number of basketball hoops, among which we shall play, I hope.Same questions regarding extra/need-of equipment apply. I will endeavour to have the nets in good working order beforehand, and I believe I have one left-handed stick to spare.
Also, if you know you're coming and have a cellphone you wouldn't mind designating as a contact-phone, please let me know.
If you have any questions, give me a call (435-5571) or email me back.
(Oh and Tobey Maguire + Topher Grace in the same movie = overwhininess disaster waiting to happen.)
