The Bisons are tied with SSAC Southgate with 51 points, both have played 31 games and have two games remaining. Not that it matters but both these teams have 3games to play.
The Airdrie Extreme have done it again adding points to Wongs Stats a day after a game they did it with Rattie 3 years ago with Torrin White last year and now with Wong. Sad Lets watch in thier last games how many goals they get with out a 3rd asst Tyler Wong is a great player and this just clouds his accomplishments.
Kirkland is not the Captain
It is not there,anywhere...i do not have one on my site...how about a e mail address i can get a hold of someone..
i can get a newsletter i paid for 2 or so weeks ago? is that what donation means? you should call it gambling ... maybe you will maybe you won't get what you paid for?
TO anonymous-to be legit-re Wong-
he had an assist that was not credited to him in the final league game-that we fans observed at the time of announcement-given to someone else -which happens for every player-it would have tied him for the league scoring and the Airdrie Xtreme didnt change that one! Your issue with the Xtreme isnt justified in this case and I am an "in stands fan"-not related to Wong or anyone on the coaching bench.
