Hmmmm, some of these questions are way...............to easy.
Let's make this a two-parter, that may actually force the winner to do some real research? So much for the fun, Huh?
OK, I recently taught a Grade 12 History course called History of Western Civilization. You know from the first civilization in Mesopotamia and "UR" to the late 1800's. Great course, full of fun" activities" For the Medieval period, I had the students put 12 tables together, and told them to make a"diorama" (a 3=D map) of a "manor" It included the castle,the village around the castle, the forest, stream, etc. I bought a 3D puzzle castle for them to assemble the first 2 days of the 5 day assignment. Of course as fate would have it, pieces seemed to become lost after the first year,and subsequent classes had to build a "ruins" version.
That gal who did our season hilite video a couple years ago, Tina, went out to Toys 'R'Us , and bought a real toy castle instead.
Anyway, prior to the medieval period, were the Romans. One of the cool phrases, they used to motivate the troops was, "Where the Pros come to play." OK, not really.
It was "Veni vedi vici."
So.......... that is "part one" of today's question. Why? because Kirby, In part two of the question, I can see these two people of WTFL "history," having used it last week at the Ball Hockey Nationals.
Therefore, todays two-three? part question is/are:
1.) What does "Veni vedi vici." mean?
2.) Who are/were the two WTFL experienced players representing Manitoba at the Ball Hockey Nationals this past week?
and don't be checking out my blog for first part either http://www.mazursworldissuescourse.blogspot.com/

I'll give it a shot.
Answer to question 1 - Veni Vedi Vici means "I came, I saw, I conquered"
and the two players I believe are Scott Cameron and Brant Cook. Jason Goertzen and Kevin Blondeau also are on the team but haven't played in the W since 2006.

1) It is Latin for I came, I saw, I conquered. It is also a Italian restaurant in Atlanta. Maybe they feed them and then let them rape and pillage there enemies.
2) Brant Cook amd Derek Fedyshyn

The restraunt in Atlanta has enemies???? Yikes! Glad I have never eaten there. Although any restauraunt that allows the later sounds like an added attraction, just like any Keg restauraunt I have worked in!
I better talk to my secretary Derek and Scott play on the Mantoba Ball hockey team???I didn't know that. (These guys are good!)
So...still looking for an ex-WTFLer who may have "given" that little speech...
C'mon Eileen, you know what I mean...(who sang that?????)
heh! heh! see how good these guys really are!! :)

Newspaper, (Free Press) claimed it was Jason...and Brandt Cook.
I'll have to get Bertha to look into this one. But for now...Marty you have answered it correctly, according to the Free Press.
Congratulations Marty Bender!

I didn't think it was Jason but you said he was employeed by Jimmy (assuming you mean the former Bomber Safety) I personally got all my information from
http://www.manitobaballhockey.com/columns/teammb.html
it says in there that the coach's name is Jeff and not Jason, but like I said, I went with the hint and took Jason. hey let it be known that I did name two additional players who have WTFL experience that are on the team! :)
(Jason Goertzen and Kevin Blondeau )

Jeff...Jason's little (fatter) brother has coached the Manitoba provincial team for the last couple of years. Jason used to play ball hockey, but too many knee problems have limited his play in the upper levels.
Brandt Cook...or The Future as he likes to refer to himself in the spongee world...has been one of the top ball hockey players in Manitoba for a the last few years...
