And did you read in the paper that Kurka didn't have a frequent flyer card until recently? It said that Watt realized it when they were flying to Montreal to play last weekend. Wonder if they'll apply the miles retroactively? :crazy:

YES! I speak with authority as a travel agent! (or guess I should say former travel agent after today. . . . :roll: )

As long as you can provide your ticket number, you can get credit for past-dated trips, no older than 6 months past. All it takes is a phone call to the airlines. Hope somebody'll help out the kid!

In the paper today, Kurka said he was enjoying it. I bet the comparison between the AHL and the NHL is interesting and motivating for making the big club next year.

Once you get a taste of charter planes and 4 star hotels, the transition to bus travel and the Holiday Inn must be hard ;)
