I'll read the article in a moment, but I have to comment on the photo accompanying the "Controversy" article:

Now THAT is hockey hair. Way to go TJ.

I've now read the stories. The story detailing TJ's career and personal development is really terrific. PCM, I don't know what your day job is, but you could do this for a living. This story was very, very well written. Thanks.

Oh yeah, and is anyone else getting pumped for hockey??

PCM, great article on the Oshie's. Just a couple thoughts here on this deal. I think this is a good example for everyone as to the level of success that can be achieved through hard work, dedication, and support from family, friends, ect. Instead of something as silly as a logo or any other excuse one might use for their lot in life. Also take advantage of opportunities that come your way and use it to improve upon yourself. This is a good lesson for everyone no matter what your ethnic background may be. Now a little on the lighter side of things. I wonder if part of TJ's scholarship went toward employing some bodyguards to escort him in and out of the hostile environment in which he has to practice and play in, I don't know how he could possibly concentrate on hockey or school with all of the anger and hostility. :angry:

Great articles, Pat. I echo jk's sentiments on your abilities.

How can anyone argue with Tim Oshie's perspective on the nickname? I guess maybe he's been hanging around the fort too much..... :angry:

I wouldn't say hanging around the fort, the article seems to indicate Mr. Oshie has better things to do with his time and energy than worry about a logo or a nickname bringing him down. It would also seem that he is indeed a person who may have a direct positive influence on some the native american youth in his area. Also being from Warroad he is no stranger to the logo issue as the school district there has seen some of this same type of left wing wacko activism.

He was 15 when he received his Ojibwe name of Keeway Gaboo, which means "coming home."
