Last week a group from the Kings volunteered to serve lunch at the Midnight Mission in downtown L.A. I had heard about the Midnight Mission before and I thought they only provided meals to those in need but they do SO MUCH MORE!. Here is The Midnight Mission Statement of Purpose:
- To offer a bridge to self-sufficiency for homeless people through counseling, education, training and job placement.
- To make available the necessities of life to homeless people: food, shelter, clothing, personal hygiene needs and medical care.
- To offer the 12-step approach to recovery.
- To serve homeless people with empathy and respect, without sermonizing.
- To provide for the homeless as an independent social service agency.
I invite everyone to check out www.midnightmission.org for more information! Once again, have a great Holiday Season and a special thanks to everyone who makes it work at the Midnight Mission. Keep up the great work!
That’s Gods work, I love people who volunteer.
There is no greater reward.

That is awesome Jimmy and all those involved. Definitely Gods’ work. Having bean homeless myself,
it is the simplest gestures that give you hope and direction. Keep up the excellent job guys (and gals)

@Michael J., I think we’re gonna miss it till next season. Barring any common sense and appreciation for what the fans do and bring to the game, it’s over this year.

@Goring 19, This season is buried just like a Goring breakaway. So sad.

I had (emphasis on “had”)an extra ticket for the Reign game on December 1st in Ontario. The Stanley Cup is scheduled to be there. I was just giving it away and what a nightmare. Here is what I had to go through:
Son – “Sorry Dad, going to the MLS Championship game. Can I have some money for the ticket?”
Friend – “Sorry dude, got tickets to go see Alice Cooper”
Friend – “Sorry man, gonna be on the gun range all day”
Friend – “Sorry bud, already promised another guy I would help him pull his engine”
Wife – “Sorry honey, I gotta wash my hair”
Daughter – “Sorry Dad, gotta get my nails done”
Daughter’s boyfriend – “Sorry pops, gotta go to work to pay for your daughter’s nail appointment”
The Yorkies – “Sorry dad, but we get groomed that day”
Ice Crew – “Sorry DK, we don’t like nachos”
Bettman – “Sorry stupid fan, but I hate hockey”
Puck73 – “Sorry DK, I have to attend a Save The World – Prevent Global Warming meeting with Poorman”
Dominick – “Sorry DK, I was invited to interview for the Red Wings head coach job”
Santa – “Ho, Ho, Ho, sorry my friend, but the elves are striking at WalMart and you are on my “naughty” list this year”
Bailey – “Sorry dear Kings fan, gotta get my drum fixed”
Doc Emerick – “SOOOORRRRYYYYY!!!!! I have been ASSSSKKKKEEDDDD!!!!!! to call a water ballet match”
Obama – “Sorry my dear American, but I have to go home for Kenyan Christmas”
Brother – “Did you say “free”? I’m your huckleberry!”
Next time, I am just going to sell it!

@DesertKing, If it makes you feel any better, the Red Wings said they want Mark Crawford because they want to start building through the draft and he’s the most qualified to get them a top 5 draft pick.

@Dominick,
I heard Kompon was up for the job too, but when asked how many skaters there were on the powerplay, he answered “Whats a powerplay?”

@DesertKing, see i would think Kompon’s response would be “wait, what do you mean you CAN score on the Power play?
