Just a word of caution about buying kids' skates if you have small 
feet...  Yes, they're cheaper, but I've found that they have less ankle 
support which breaks down more quickly.  Since kids' feet grow so quickly, 
their skates usually have to last for only one season, and skate companies 
take this into account when they're constructing the skates.  
	If you're feet are one the border between a kids' size 6 and a mens' 
size 6 (as mine are), you'll might be better off in the long run with 
a pair of mens' size 6 narrow.  
	Although it took two seasons for me too figure this out (one in a 
pair of mens' 6s that were too wide and one in a pair of kids' 6s that 
had little support- both pairs were top-of-the-line), my skating improved 
dramatically when I finally got a pair of mens' size 6 narrows.  Also, 
many skate stores tell customers that Bauer skates are best for narrow 
feet.  Don't just take their word for it!  I have narrow feet and prefer 
CCMs although I'm constantly told to try Bauers by salesmen.

I wrote earlier:

>USA and Canada) on Saturday November 2nd from 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm.

But I just looked in the TV guide and it appears that the
game is to start at 4:00 pm on CBC.
