A Sad Day for Hockey



It's a sad day for hockey with the announcement that Tie Domi has retired. Not sure how the game can continue with loss of 3 legends in less than one year - Lemieux, Yzerman and now Domi. I know that Coach Bruce was unable to control his emotions and went through almost 2 boxes of Kleenex this afternoon. I also know it would mean a lot to him if the girls would share with Coach Bruce their favourite Tie Domi memory. Coach Bruce can be reached at dhg@rogers.com. I know my favourite moment was when Tie while serving a penalty spotted an overheated Flyer fan at the Spectrum. He decided to share his drink with the poor gentleman (see picture) however some people misinterpreted the gesture and poor Tie was vilified. But Tie will not go away quietly. I see that TSN has hired him so next on his hit list is....the English language. Of course retirement will provide Tie with more time for his new interest - Belinda Stronach. It seems Belinda has a soft spot for right wingers having spent almost some time in the Conservative Party of Canada. CTV reported last week that Domi and Stronach were seen dining together at a trendy Toronto restaurant along with movie star Brad Pitt during the Toronto International Film Festival. Can you imagine Bill Clinton and Peter McKay were dropped for Tie Domi?

In a 75-page divorce application filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Wednesday, Mrs. Domi, the mother of three said she kept hearing "rumours" about her husband spending time with Ms. Stronach. Mrs. Domi said in the document. She asked her husband to leave the family's Toronto home in July, days after her friend saw Mr. Domi in New York City "strolling down Madison Avenue, hand in hand with Belinda Stronach," according to the documents. Mr. Domi, she alleges, told his wife he was at a charity golf tournament in the Maritimes.
