These gentlemen are from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, here in Pittsburgh to support their boys — Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon — for Thursday night’s game between the Avalanche and Penguins. Each of the 60-somethings play hockey three times a week, they said, and invited yours truly and my beer-league groups up to the Halifax/Cole Harbour/Dartmouth area for a game or two. Sounds like a blast. Really had a nice time visiting with these guys during the Avs’ morning skate:
