Mike what is so good about Mr Cherry is that he is what he says. You know exactly what or how he feels. Some times I do not agree with what he has to say, but it is how he feels. Also if he says something today, he will back his words tomorrow and not hide from them.

I know a little about hockey as I was a Hockey Referee for many years. Let alone it was minor hockey, but one of the gentlemen I refereed with is now a linesman in the NHL. Most of what Mr Cherry says about fights in hockey is correct. They are needed to be a release for the pent up anger and frustration. The linesman are trained to stop the fights as soon as one player gains an undue advantage, this stops serious injuries.

Again Mr Cherry speaks from the heart and does not care if he is political or not. This is why I like him, he is a real person. He also is one of the most generous people with his time and resourses for charities.
