I know this may not directly be related to the UHL, but here's a link to an interesting story I came across from the Toronto Sun about athletes, including those in hockey, and their tattoos. I must say, I've noticed some tattoos penetrating minor-league hockey in recent years.
Some accompanying stories specifically about hockey players can he found by clicking here, here, here, and here.
Meanwhile, as for the Komets, forward David Hukalo had surgery on his broken finger and is expected to be out at least three weeks, general manager David Franke said. J.F. Labarre could return to the lineup from his broken arm March 2. Kelly Miller, who has a separated shoulder, is still a few weeks off. And Mike Dombkiewicz, who has a back injury, is getting checked by doctors but for now is day-to-day.

Domber can take his time,,,with seven defensemen playing nightly, and two of them being in the top four in team scoring...take your time. Also I want him to be 100% so maybe he will play like he did when he first got here. He has had extremely great games but this year thus far very few. GO K's. Also by most obnoxious fans on the poll question do you mean most vocal in support of your team or the rudes to visitors...because those answers are a given...Fort Wayne and Muskegon for the rudest to the visiting fans. Rockford is a close second for lound and obnoxious fans. Kalamazoo fans are rarely obnoxious and normally behave...most people haven't been to Rockford and they can get a little crazy. When we played QC in the championship some of their fans were picking fights with some of the K's fans for cheering and were thrown out of their own arena for it...so that is obnoxious too.

Also does Port Huron have fans? Everytime I have been there I think i was one of only 500-1000 people there.

I just meant the fans who are most, well, difficult to stomach in general. At games, over the internet, etc. The ones who you would keep your children away from because of the language; the ones who think because you root for your team, you should be drawn and quartered.
By the way, in case you're wondering why I've been a little lax with the updates, it's because maternity leave for my wife is any minute. So Ben Smith will be stepping in for me.
