TheAussiePosse Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 OK, so Steve McKenna isn't exactly a superstar, but he's still an NHLer. And this is a big thing for us. Club hockey will never be the same (at least Down Under) "The Adelaide Avalanche Ice Hockey Club are pleased to announce the biggest signing in their six-year history after they agreed terms earlier in the week with National Hockey League (NHL) player and current Pittsburgh Penguins Assistant Captain Steve McKenna. The 6’8 and 118 kg native of Toronto, Canada will fly into Adelaide early next week and join up with his Avalanche teammates for the current Australian Ice Hockey League season. McKenna will skate with the Avalanche next week and make his Avalanche debut in Canberra against the Canberra Knights on Saturday 14th May. " Awesome that it's in my home town. Not so awesome that it's against my home team. Good luck to him, glad to see an NHLer making a move to the southern hemisphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting to visit/live in Australia and now that I see I might be able to lace up the skates down there I'm sold. Australia here I come. I'm liking the name drop in your location Leafs Suck "Rick Nash's hometown" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Yeah, right in the middle of "The Idiot Nation". I am sure you know how annoying their fans can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
