Rotary, Hockey, and other Shenanigans
By Gregory J. RediskeEdited By Horn, Gregory S.Sunday, January 12, 2025
Before Carl Bronkema became President of Lakewood Rotary, I knew the following things about hockey: Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, The Miracle on Ice, and Rodney Dangerfield’s quote: “I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.” Oh, and I knew we had an NHL team in Seattle, the Kraken. That’s not much, given that President Carl is such a fanatic about the sport. I decided I should do some serious investigation into this apparently violent competitive activity. Included in the recap of our meeting from January 10 at the Pavilion will be some knowledge that I acquired through exhaustive research. You’re welcome.
Along about 12:30, give or take, His Hockey-ness started the away game/meeting at our Ft. Steilacoom Pavilion with the invocation of President-elect Tom George. Tom’s thoughts included the plight of the people near the Palisades fire in LA. Treasurer John Lowney has set up a payment portal on our website www.lakewoodrotary.com to donate to a Rotary fund to help those folks. $20 - $1,000.
