Thank you.

That is just one more piece of ammo in my arsenal to debate the rodentia
(players and parents) that comprise virtually all my son's Squirt A hockey
team.

By the way, my son's goalie mask has "UND" on one side and the new logo on
the other. As such I get many comments from local rodent lovers so my
arsenal is well honed and used frequently!
