Hockey has a dark cloud hanging over the start of the season with the Dany Heatley/Dan Snyder accident. As a former season ticket holder and being that Heatley was a former member of my alma mater's team, the situation has hit hard with me.

I was glad to see the Thrashers won their season opener. Personally with the adversity they face now with one player dead and another out with injury and facing manslaughter charges, I would like to see them overcome those obstacles.
