The Sweater to be proud of
All of them. A clean look. Great colours. But they took the white off the shoulders of the away sweaters, so now they look like giant twizzlers nibs on the ice.

See?

The secret shame 

They put advertisements front and centre on their jersey.

Sellouts

Alumni

 Eric Lind- wait, what? He refused to report? Well I’m sure it was just a youthful mistake.

The Soo, Gateway to.....Manitoba?: The Greyhounds tend to have one advantage no one else has at home. Teams have to prepare for a journey longer than from The Shire to Mordor just to get to the game. The advantage now is after being holed up in a bus what probably seems like decades after the 14th viewing of Slap Shot, the visitors are stuck in a sitting position, which probably affects their play. Once again there's no TV, because I assume they can't get cable due to polar bears constantly eating the lines. There's a place called Sugar Island nearby, but I bet it's just a peninsula. Also, they hate capitalism, since they don't allow stores to open on boxing day, and why can't the people of The Soo have such great discounts?  The town is sister cities with Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan because sucks to creativity. And they have a memorial to Phil Esposito, despite him not being dead yet, but I guess he's dead to The Soo.
