Frpm the April 8th Niagara News "It'ss be red, white-but no blue for Buffalo mayor after Team Canada's Battle of the Border win."
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown will be wearing red and white the next time he attends a public event in his city. He and Fort Erie (Canada) Mayor Dory Martin had a friendly bet. The mayor of the losing team would wear the jersey of the winning one.
Team Canada won 7-5.
Fort Erie was the site on the bloodiest War of 1812 battle and the stepping off point of the last American invasion of Canada in early July 1814. Buffalo was burned during the war.

He Shoots and Scores!!!
March 29th Niagara This Week "He shoots and scores"
The rivalry between the United States and Canada is coming to the ice. The next activity of the 1812 Bicentennial Committee is an ice hockey game with current junior and college-level players on both sides of the border.
The game was held April 7th and is part of a three-year lineup of celebrations planned.
I did not find out who won. Perhaps the NHL can have another one of their Canada and US pros play each other. We sure had a great time watching the Canada-US games the last time hey played. And, we were in Panama City, Florida, watching it with a lot of Canadians. That was a blast.
Go, Team U.S.A.!!! --Brock-Perry
