    The first two have to be Angela James and Geraldine Heaney, if there is any justice in the world.

    Again, though, AMac's list shows why there shouldn't be a limit of two - not now, not ever.

    So will there be a slump buster wing?

    No, Abby Hoffman has to be one of the initial inductees.

    You could make a very strong argument for 80 something year old Hazel McCallion, major of Mississauga and a pioneer in professional women's hockey.

    Definitely could, but Abby was the first girl to break the gender barrier and play on a boys Junior A team.

    And that was in the '50s.

    Among her other terrific sporting achievements, she helped organize the first Canadian women's hockey championship in 1982, paving the way for the world championship to begin eight years later.

    Amazing woman.

    (OK, flog away)

    How do you say "turd in the punch bowl" in Canadian?

    Gee,that didn't take long.

    I was conducting a social experiment.

    You know, if a right winger had said that.....................

    OK, now I go for two minutes in the box and feel shame.
