This is Paige.
Her family came from Paris, ON to see Mikey play. He didn't. He saw the sign and got her an signed stick. Even better - He took her skating on the canal w/the team Sat. They raced. She won. She'll see him play today.
More ppl should be like Mikey.

Though he didn't need to, Don paid for a Rangers season ticket in each year since he "stepped away" from the mic. He wouldn't go into the media room when he wasn't working. It's the Don Cameron Media Room.
That's about all you need to know about Don Cameron, the man.

Holy shit.
This is a must-read thread. Yes, it's American, but we all know it's happening in our backyard too.
I'm hoping our elected officials are making it easier for those Canadians in need.
