February [2005] was the month when the park made all the papers. Peter Kuitenbrouwer wrote a piece about shinny hockey in the National Post. It didn’t mention our rink by name but this is where he often plays, and he described it lovingly. Then there were the trio of human rights articles - first by a journalism intern named Jenny Juen in NOW Magazine, then by a freelance writer named Julie Traves in the Globe (who quoted our human rights complainant as comparing herself to Rosa Parks), then a long piece by veteran columnist Rosie DiManno in the Toronto Star, who wrote that our troublesome breastfeeding issue was an instance of "the granola left eating itself." In between, the Star also did a big shinny hockey piece] by Dave Bidini marking Dufferin Rink as a "hockeytopia." And finally the Toronto Sun ran an impressively detailed sports section article by Mark Keast on the different cultures which have adopted hockey. That piece included a photo of one of our favorite rink rats, Johnny Leung, posed in front of our NHLPA yellow-skates shelf. When the reporter asked Johnny his age, he said 13, which is what was printed on the photo’s caption. But he’s really only 11.
