Too Late for Hockey? Never!

My favorite sport is baseball or football, depending on which is in season.  But I have a passion for following the Saint Louis Blues of the National Hockey League.  My brother and I attended the Blues' "Pro Orientation Camp" last year to watch the rookies and sophomore Bluenotes take to the ice at their training facility in Hazelwood, Missouri.

I will argue with anyone that the Blues have the most recognizable and most unique logo in all of sports: the Bluenote.  What better way to name your team than for a cultural icon of your home city that everyone can immediately understand and recognize?  Even in a poor, blurry photo as the one above anyone can tell which hockey team has taken to the ice.

Defenseman Anthony Peluso.

Intense concentration, getting ready for the drills.  Or he just got surprised.

You can't beat that name.  I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll guess Pennsylvania Dutch?

A short pause between drills.

Our next great Bluenote?

Fan favorite T.J. Oshie.

Will next year be the year that the Blues finally return to respectability in the NHL?
LET'S . . . GO . . . BLUES!
