Exciting times returned to Fort McMurray this weekend with the Oil Barons’ home opener! Sure, maybe the final score wasn’t exactly what fans hoped for, but it’s always great to have local hockey back. That is… until you find yourself sitting in front of “Old Yeller.”

You know the type—he’s the self-appointed coach in the stands, convinced that the players would have no idea how to play the game without his constant, top-of-his-lungs advice. “Shoot! Pass! Hit ’em!”—the guy’s practically writing a new playbook up there.

But here’s the silver lining: by the middle of the second period, his voice finally gives out. Now, you get to enjoy the game with only the occasional squeaky shout from a man whose voice now sounds like one of the teenagers he’s yelling at.
