A fair trade

As we approach the holiday season, we're going to hear, and hopefully practice, the adage that it's better to give than receive.

When it comes to hounding, though, I'd always prefer to make a trade.

Regular visitors to Hound Central 3.0 might remember a picture showing Colin dressed in his street hockey goalie gear and wearing a Carolina Hurricanes jersey.

After telling the Goofy Dude that I'd be seeing the Hurricanes and one of his favorite goalies, Cam Ward, he asked for a favor. He wanted me to give Cam an autographed copy of that picture.

Yesterday morning, as Cam made his way to the team's morning skate, I delivered Colin's wishes. And, as you can see, Cam was more than willing to trade autographs.
