What did you this summer? If you’re Coda Gordon, a lot. The 19-year-old Cochrane Minor Hockey product just wrapped up his first main training camp with the Calgary Flames.

With the ink barely dry on their marching orders, the Cochrane Generals are already erecting a M*A*S*H unit for their fallen soldiers. After silencing the Airdrie Thunder 3-2 Sept.

The Bow Valley Grizzlies are in Calgary Rugby Union’s (CRU) Division 3 men’s city final for the first time. They face undefeated Calgary Canucks with the winner earning a berth to provincials. But when the ball is kicked noon, Sept.

Deep. That’s the word rookie head coach Evan McFeeters is using to define the 2013-14 Cochrane Generals.

If that large body churning up and down the ice for the Cochrane Generals in the pre-season looks vaguely familiar, you’re paying attention.

Well, at least the Calgary Flames have given us something to talk about.
