Hodgson named NHL's Rookie of the Month

Vancouver's Cody Hodgson has been named rookie of the month for January 2012. He had 6 goals and 4 assists in 11 games (that's almost a Sedin pace!), and was at the All-Star festivities in Ottawa.

"As a result of his January heroics, Hodgson has put himself front and center in the Calder Trophy discussion. His 14 goals are now second among rookies, one behind Philadelphia's Matt Read, while his 30 points are tied for fourth, five behind Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who won Rookie of the Month in both October and November. New Jersey's Adam Henrique, second in rookie scoring with 34 points, earned the honor in December."

Pretty tough not to like this guy. I know it's been 12 games since he scored a goal, but he gets it...

Pretty tough not to like this guy. I know it's been 12 games since he scored a goal, but he gets it done defensively as well. 10 goals and 26 points and a +6 in 48 games this season puts him on pace to have the second-best season on his career. The goals will come again because he works so damned hard.

Please help victims of the Burns Lake disaster

Please help victims of the Burns Lake disaster

I want to bring up a very serious issue that's close to me. Living in Kamloops for the last six years, I've met a lot of awesome people from Northern BC. One of my best friends is a terrific hockey player from Burns Lake, where the local sawmill caught fire Friday night and exploded, taking the lives of two and leaving 19 injured.

Worse, however, is that the mill was the largest employer in Burns Lake, keeping that town afloat. It's still unsure whether the sawmill will be rebuilt, which would turn Burns Lake into a ghost town. In short, this is devastating for a small town, and my friend texted me worrying that she may not have a hometown anymore.

A tragedy fund has been set up. Donations can be made through any CIBC branch in BC, and, for those of you out-of-province, you can donate online to the victims and the town via a tragedy fund set up by the Rotary Club.

There are a lot of great people as part of Canucks Nation up North, and I'd love for us to be able to rally around this and step up and raise a few bucks for a town that needs it.

Now, I am not the biggest Jon Stewart fan, but to take a quote from Supertroopers, "It's Delicious!"

Anybody else realize that there may be a few Bruins and Canucks at the All Star game in Ottawa?
