That's right boys and girls, Mitch Bartley and the UBC T-Birds beat the U of C Dinos tonight at Minoru Arena in Richmond 3-2. They will meet again tomorrow night at the same arena. Puck drop at 7:30pm. http://www.gothunderbirds.ca/sports_team_story.asp?id=11&storyid=1755

Tonight Mitch picked up an assist on the on the Scott Lynch (of Spokane Chiefs fame) goal that made it 2-1 T-Birds.

That win moved UBC into second place behind the U of A Golden Bears and if the standings hold true to the end of the season, UBC will host a playoff round for the first time since 1971.

On my way home from the Giants game I stop in to the Cactus Club to grab a pint of beer and get some wings to go. Sportsnet is on the TVs. Then the Giants highlights come on. Next thing I hear someone on the other side of the bar say "Hold on, I want to watch this" so I look over and OMG! Is that Mitch Bartley?? Sure looks like him. I'm wearing my Giants jersey and hat and I look over at him. He looks at me. Then I look again. But I was too chicken to go over and say hi.

I think I am going to head over to Minoru tomorrow night. If you head out I'll be the guy in the Giants jersey with the signatures on the front.

Mitch is very approachable. He sat in the seat behind me at a Giants game and I asked him several questions of which he answered in depth. He even initiated conversations. A class guy - always a Giant and making a good impact at UBC ..go Birds go!
