Saskatoon Blades
Since the Saskatoon Blades began their inaugural season in 1964, they have helped develop numerous players that have gone on to play at the NHL level. This includes Bobby Schmautz, the first Blade alumni that ever advanced to the NHL, and also the first one to score an NHL goal. Since then, more than 100 Blades' players have gone on to play in the National Hockey League, combining for over 25,000 games and over 3,500 goals. Players like Grant Ledyard, Wendal Clark, Brent Ashton, Bernie Federko, and Curtis Leschyshyn all went on to have NHL careers. Players like Bob Bourne and Joey Kocur even won multiple Stanley Cup titles once they had advanced to the NHL level. http://www.saskatoonblades.com/History

Curtis Hamilton was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round, number 48 overall, while the Toronto Maple Leafs took Josh Nicholls in the seventh round, number 182 overall.

Red Bull
German retailers were ordered to stop selling Red Bull's cola beverage, Red Bull Cola, on May 25, 2009, after traces of cocaine were found in the popular drink. Testing showed de-cocainized coca extract, which would still classify the cola as a narcotic.

Toledo Walleye
The Walleye ended a two-year absence of professional hockey in the city of Toledo after their most-recent team, the Toledo Storm, ended their franchise in 2007. The ECHL allowed the team to take a suspension from the league while the new Lucas County Arena was constructed in downtown Toledo. The Storm played in Toledo at the Toledo Sports Arena from 1991 to 2007, winning the Brabham Cup for the best regular-season record in 1992 and 2003 as well as the Kelly Cup, the championship trophy, in 1993 and 1994.http://www.toledowalleye.com/mediaguide/Pages%2037-41.pdf
Prior to the Storm, the Toledo Sports Arena was home to the Toledo Goaldiggers from 1974 to 1986, Toledo Hornets from 1970 to 1974, Toledo Blades from 1963 to 1970 and Toledo Mercurys from 1947 to 1962.http://www.toledowalleye.com/mediaguide/Pages%2037-41.pdf
