A Gentleman's Agreement

March Madness is one of the most exciting times in all of sports. From 68 teams down to 1 in less than 3 weeks. Who doesn't love that? It's the one time of year when casual basketball fans act like they know what they're talking about & even non-basketball fans fill out a bracket because, let's face it, it's a total crap shoot anyway. This tradition holds true in Edmonton as well. In fact, you can often find a game on inside the Blizzard locker room before or after a game.

Just this past Saturday, following a tough shootout loss to the Calgary Dragons, spirits were a little down & understandably so. That didn't stop them for flipping on the latest NCAA tournament action, specifically the final minutes of the Kansas-Villanova game. For most, this was just noise as their brackets were busted & they had long since lost interest. There were 2 players in particular, however, who seemed rather interested. Team captain Cory Knouse & Blizz legend Nik Scholz were glued to the TV, anxiously awaiting the result. Why did this game mean so much to these two? They were the last 2 remaining in the Blizzard's team pool. For Knouse, his Michigan Wolverines had already locked up a spot in the national championship game. For Scholz, his fate rested in the hands of the Villanova Wildcats. As the clock wound down & it became clear that Nova would be moving onto the final, things got rather interesting.

CK: "Hey Nik, wanna make this interesting?"
NS: "What'd you have in mind?"
CK: "Loser donates to the winner's charity, say $500k?"
NS: "Make it a cool $1M & you've got a deal."
CK: "You're on, let's do it."

The two shook on it & now we wait. If Michigan wins, Scholz will donate $1M to Knouse's charity of choice, Animal Rescue League. If Villanova comes out on top, Knouse will donate $1M to Scholz's preferred charity, Make-A-Wish Foundation (specifically the Chronic Beer Belly Disorder division).
