Yzerman was born in Cranbrook, British Columbia, but he grew up in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean and played his youth hockey there. Friday night, he'll be inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, and the timing is great. Saturday, the Senators host the Red Wings, and Yzerman will be honored before the 7 p.m. game with a video tribute and the ceremonial first puck. You can see that ceremony on FSN and CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada" (Channel 9 in Windsor), and FSN also plans to show some highlights from Friday's induction ceremony. It also is CBC's main evening game, because the Maple Leafs are playing at San Jose at 10 p.m. -- a rare occasion when "Hockey Night" is guaranteed a prime-time game matching two teams with winning records. As the Free Press's Steve Schrader notes, Yzerman will be inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in February: On Feb. 11, he'll be at the head of a class of 11 inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in ceremonies at the Fisher Music Center. Balcony tickets for the 7:30 p.m. ceremonies are $35, and there also are $150 VIP packages that include a 6 p.m. strolling supper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zion 93 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 I REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY need to ditch cable and get DirecTV. My father-in-law loves reminding me how he is watching Red Wings Weekly, and I remind him how the minute the game ends, before the 3 Stars can be named (unless it's a San Jose home game), the Center Ice cuts out right away...
