Lancers men's hockey hugs it out off-ice By Michal Tellos Sports Editor January 21, 2009 Over the course of the Christmas holidays, the Lancers men’s hockey team participated in a heart-wrenching team-building experience when they traveled to New Orleans to build homes for Hurricane Katrina victims.
 And they haven’t stopped there.
The team has committed themselves to a plethora of team clubs and activities, and has been all-smiles ever since.
All of these activities have replaced the regular practice sessions. Most of the team’s academic schedule has been compromised as well.
An emotionally charged Scott Todd justifies all the time spent.
“I just realized that I don’t know who the real Scott is anymore, and I want to know him. And I want to, like, get to know all the people around me. But I don’t mean that I wanna get to know how they play or how they wanna win, I just want to know what their feelings are like, and what makes them cry,” said the six-foot-four, 215-pound defenseman. >> | Detroit Lions owner claims total satisfaction with team By Matthew Bufton
Lance Writer January 21, 2009 Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford gathered his beleaguered football team at a local Denny’s last week to applaud them for “trying their best and having fun.”
 As the millionaire athletes, fresh off the NFL’s first 0-16 season, dined on Grand Slam™ breakfasts they listened to their owner compare their performance to the 1983 Sheboygan Wildcats, a little league baseball team that is widely considered to have had more fun than almost any team before or since.
In addition to the praise of their owner each player also received an individual trophy highlighting an aspect of their performance. “Mr. Ford made it clear he didn’t want to single out anyone, and that he was equally proud of each of us,” explained quarterback Dan Orlovsky, recipient of the award for best smile. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Domenic Papa opens up in Lance exclusive By Michal Tellos
Sports Editor January 21, 2009 Local sports personality Domenic Papa has finally gone public to explain a decision that he made many years ago.
 His Windsor fans have always had one question burning on their minds: where and why did the mustache go?
Friedrich Nietzsche did it. Adolf Hitler did it. Ned Flanders and George Parros are still doing it. It’s clearly an undying trend, so why did it have to go in the case of one famous broadcaster?
The fan favourite facial accessory vanished under mysterious circumstances approximately one decade ago, and an emotional Papa has refused to discuss the subject ever since. Until now.
The Lance recently sat down with Papa bear in an exclusive one-on-one to talk about this sensitive issue.
Lance: Mr. Papa, it’s so great to see you again. Let’s talk about your pain.
Papa: Well, it runs deep. Getting rid of that three-inch piece of me was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. But there is no way it can ever come back. >> |
