Sapurji: Wishing you a Merry Hish-mas?

There's some good news and bad puns from the Owen Sound Attack today as the team announced that star forward Joey Hishon will be back in the lineup for Saturday's game against Oshawa.

Hishon, the former Grand Marshall of the Wiarton Willie Parade, broke his foot back in October and has been skating and practicing with the team for the last 10 days.

"I've been on the ice for team practices and spent some extra time on the ice with coaches getting ready for this. Getting back on the ice in front of the fans is almost like an early Christmas present." Hishon said in a statement earlier today.

If you happen to be in Owen Sound and need some stocking stuffers for the kids, head down early to the game because the Attack are giving out a special present to the first 1,000 fans. This is straight from the Attack release:

To mark Joey's return to the lineup, WD Keeling Printers of Owen Sound has provided the first 1000 fans to Saturday night's game a free "Merry 'Hish'mas, Welcome Back #18 Poster".

NOTE: If you're passing by the Bayshore today, please stop in and make sure Marketing/PR Director Brent Fisher is OK. And don't forget to wish him a very Merry Hishmas!

I love those crazy kids in Owen Sound.
