Yesterday at the Regina Pats News Media Room, rumors were going around that the PUP LINE is going to be re-united for the up and coming Trans Canada Clash in the later part of January, 2010. All three were present. Moose Jaw it has been confirmed, they will in fact be playing as one line. Look out Moose Jaw! To bad you will not have your new rink finished, as this should be a sell-out. Can not wait for this clash. It should be a great game. This thing just gets better and better and when you consider we had a sellout in Moose Jaw for the first year clash and 5900 in the Brandt Centre for second year clash, two years ago. There was no game last year.

This is one that Rod shared with me, yesterday.
Rod happened to see Regina Pats Defenceman, Colten Teubert, browsing through one of new Pats books, and this is what both said: "The Puppy Line?" he questioned, somewhat bewildered."It's THE PUP LINE!" I growled. "There's a DIFFERENCE!" He, of course, was referring to the famed late 1980's Pats line of Jamie Heward, Mike Sillinger and Frank Kovacs when they were all 16 year olds and had grown up in Regina. The Line was unusual in that they all played together as one unit.
