To Boo Or Not To Boo
by Lynn J. Berman
Theatrical plays began over 600 years BC. Opera drew crowds in the 12th Century. Both were judged – applauded or booed. Until the year 1927, all movies were silent. However the theaters were never that; as audience members would fill the room with laughter, cheers, hisses and boos.
Rangers Sign Dawes to ELC
The Rangers today signed their 2003 5th round pick, Nigel Dawes to a professional contract. The 5’8″ Dawes is coming off a season in which he matched his career high of 47 goals and a stint with the Canadian World Junior silver medal winning team, for which he scored two goals in the final against the champion US team. Dawes also made a brief four game appearance with the Hartford Wolf Pack after finishing the season with Kootenay.
With one year of junior eligibility and some question as to whether there will be an NHL season, it looks as if Dawes will return to the WHL for at least one more year. By signing Dawes, the Rangers remove any risk of losing him as a free agent come June 1st.
