The Latvian Hockey Fan Club in Canada is set to         kick-off. We've had interest from coast to coast and are         trying to put together a schedule with featured games         followed by a get together with Latvian hockey players.         In some cases it has to be a quick autograph and photo         session before the visiting team heads to their bus or         airplane. In other cases there's an opportunity for a         more leasurely get-together for those playing at home or         overnighting. Some games will feature group seating with         discounted tickets, while others will simply be suggested         match-ups that may interest Latvian hockey fans.         It's tough picking out one or two games a month to feature         in Southern Ontario where we have a lot of options, a bit         easier in Ottawa,Montreal, Halifax and British Columbia.         A number of us have already been out and met three of our         OHL juniors from Latvia. It's tough for 18 and 19 year olds         to be so far away from home and the guys have enjoyed having         support in the stands. In fact other Toronto St. Michael's         Majors players asked two of our guys why their fans are so         boisterous while the rest of the fans just sit and applaud.         The Latvian Hockey Fanclub in Canada is informal. There are         no membership cards, and therefore no membership fees.         We're simply hockey fans who want to celebrate the success         of Latvian hockey and it's players with even more Latvian         hockey fans, while supporting the guys while they're away         from home.
