Before they could take another lesson in learning how to fight, the five hockey players slowly wrapped their hands. Before anyone envisions a scene out of "Slap Shot," one thing should be made clear: They did not use aluminum foil. Stealing instead from the script of "Youngblood," a junior hockey classic, Kevin Zugec and brothers Shane and Dalton Shiring and Luke and Jon Stickel came to the Carrick Community Boxing Academy Saturday morning to train in the sweet science in preparation for hockey fights.
It was an interesting, if puzzling, choice: The guest speaker for the Safe Passage Monte Carlo Benefit Gala was a former National Hockey League player. Rough sport, tough players. What would he have in common with professionals dealing with children who have been sexually abused?

Ask Conacher, a senior forward on the Canisius hockey team, about sugar content and he's pretty much on top of that bit of information, too.
