First signing for 2007-08 season

Coach Muscutt didn't waste any time in re-signing the '06-07 CHL Goaltender of the Year. The Mudbugs announced that John Decaro was signed yesterday. After all the drama (see, I told you it was a soap opera for men) that's put a sour note on the ending of the Bugs' season, this news was more than a breath of fresh air. I felt as if gale force winds blew my bad mood away.

Watching Decs develop his skills this past season was great. Getting to know him was even better. John is a fierce competitor on and off the ice (avoid playing poker with him). But he's also a gentle soul. Mention his baby daughter and he turns into a big pile of mush. I had great fun kidding him about supplying him with newspapers and other reading materials. And JD, you gotta get rid of those blue shoes, haha.

Newspapers and a new plunger will be ready and waiting for you in October, John. The Mudbug nation is very happy you'll be back in the black and teal.
