In all fairness to the awesome people of Twillingate they since upgraded from the old tractor with an attached ice cleaner to a Zamboni, tossed out the chicken wire and upgraded to glass and by now they probably have replaced what seemed like 20 watt light bulbs. <br><br>This was rough and tumble hockey (on a good day) and Twillingate would rather scrap then eat. Picture a dog that would just gnaw at your leg relentlessly and that is what you had. They were the hardest working bunch I ever played against.<br><br>I remember one night that I really feared for my life after the game. I ended being okay but a window did get smashed out on the bus from a snowball. I still remember as we would pack in the bus, Coach would say "duck" on our way out of town. Fun times! <br><br>The hard work of this town made its way to the NHL as Gary Roberts Grandparents were from Twillingate. A #10 Roberts Calgary jersey hangs in the rafters and Gary used (maybe still does) put off a hockey clinic there in the summer.

It definitely was maddness. Awww, it was a sad night indeed.
