Another reason to support the Ottawa Senators

The troops in Afstan will be really getting their skates on.
The owner of the Ottawa Senators is delivering gifts including $50,000 worth of hockey equipment to Canadian troops in Afghanistan. Eugene Melnyk is visiting the NATO base in Kandahar.

Melnyk stepped off of a C130 Hercules transport aircraft wearing body armour and carrying an army helmet.

The troops — for whom ball hockey is a major pastime — are getting new goalie equipment, hockey sticks, inline skates, balls and NHL and Team Canada jerseys.

The billionaire businessman is also delivering 2,500 Tim Hortons gift certificates...
I wonder if the Timmy's at KAF has a drive-through for LAV IIIs.

I hate to like anything the Sens do, but you've got to tip your toque to Melnyk on this one...
