About Alfredsson's mom's passing... Wow... 

Hasse will be attending Daniel’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Toronto. Margareta died in January 2021.

She woke up on Christmas morning in 2020 with difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with COVID-19. On the morning of Jan. 7, 2021, doctors informed the Alfredsson family that Margareta would not recover and they should plan to say their goodbyes.

Daniel and Henric were unable to be there in person because of travel restrictions that kept them in Ottawa. So on their mother’s final day, they joined a FaceTime call with Hasse and their sister, Cecilia, who were only able to enter Margareta’s hospital room by wearing heavy PPE.

“There was a lot of laughing and crying,” Henric says of that final conversation.

Daniel and Henric remained on the FaceTime call as they removed Margareta from life support. A few minutes later, Henric looked at the clock, which read 11:18 a.m. in Ottawa.

“So I asked the doctor over the video, ‘Excuse me. Can you tell me what the official time of death was?” says Henric. “And he said to me, it was 17:11.”

Given the six-hour time difference, their mom’s time of death was 11:11 a.m. in Ottawa. For years, Ottawa fans chanted Alfredsson’s name each time the scoreboard clock read 11:11 at Canadian Tire Centre.

“I can guarantee you the doctor had no clue that was Daniel Alfredsson’s mom,” Henric says. “He’s not thinking, ‘I’m going to write down the time of death as 11:11 Ottawa time because it’s a feel-good story.”

Daniel says the timing is just “coincidence.”

“I’m not that person who believes in those signs,” he says. “But you do wonder.”

Henric disagrees. “I’m not religious, but I believe in signs. And that was not a coincidence for me,” he says. “I think it was my mom’s way of sending us a little message. Now, every day when I look at my phone and if I see 11:11, I think of my mom.”

While I agree that Aviation Hangar is an awesome name for an arena, I remember Anaheim getting tons of crap from everyone else for *not* having an "arena". Anaheim fans thought the Pond was great because it was different as well as being completely relevant to the team.

I wonder if Aviation Hangar would get similar turned-up noses or if alcohol > Disney would negate any disdain.

 Black Diamond Arena?

WINNER!!!!!!!

 Really?  The first thing I think of is cheddar cheese...
