I went to the Denver Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year banquet that I went to on Friday. I was there with Champ and Boss Bailey, who came with his wife. It was my second year going, I went the year before. It’s always a great function because it is a big fundraiser. They raise tons and tons of money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.

They honor somebody every year – last year they honored Pat Hamill, who is the Chairman of Oakwood Homes. He and I have become friends since then. This year, they honored Pat Bowlen, who is one of my favorite people in the world, he signs my checks. I guess I have to change my name to Pat to be honored by them.

It’s a great event to raise money for the Boys and Girls Club. One of the cool things about it is the entertainment is singing and dancing and poems written and performed by kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. It’s always impressive because the kids are really, really talented. Since I’m normally at the Boys and Girls Club once a week – the Broncos branch – I know a lot of the kids that won and I know a lot of the kids that performed. So, it’s very personal which is pretty cool.

We start by addressing Avrilanche — Joey, the goalie from last week. He played well. I was impressed — had a great game. Sorry that he came up on the short end of the stick, but he probably would have saved more goals if he wasn’t looking in the crowd. But I appreciate him finding me, I guess.

I do not know anybody on the Avs, but I don’t know that the Avs need a goalie. Especially one that’s checking out the people in the stands. Anyway, good luck the rest of the season to Joey.

And now that we’re on to hockey — I’m getting good at these segues — we can talk about last night’s game. Big Monday night hockey, 10:30 was the puck drop. The Broncos were able to notch their third win. They are now 3-2-1, which is the first time they’ve ever been above .500 in Broncos hockey history. Breaking down all types of barriers.
