Getting it started

From here: Thanks for commenting there.

Season 12 begins in Hartford, facing a guy who's played more games for Bridgeport than all but three men. (He also has more penalty minutes than all but one. We'll see if Micheal Haley starts his race up the Hartford list tonight.)

Both teams had seven defensemen for warmup; looked like McIver and Niemi were the odd men out.
