Re: Doug Woog Jersey to be retired By SSP
Ummmmmm... not to be negative, but, will The Wooger actually be IN the jersey while it gets hung?? I know a few ex-Gopher players would like to see that!!puckhouse27 wrote:The South St. Paul Packers will be retiring Doug Woogs Jersey on Saturday Febuary 6 at Wakota Arena After the first period of The South St.Paul vs. Tartan hockey game begining at 8:00 pm.

His number was never retired by south st. Paul. In 2004 they retired phil housleys number and last year they retired warren millers jersey both former nhl players. I guess they think doug deserves the same and will finally have it done! by the way the jerseys are quite big they hang in wakota so doug being a small man would fall out lol.

I hope that's not the case, too, and that his health is fine. There is a great chemistry between Woog and Frank Mazzacco. I think Wooger has earned the right to go out on his own terms as a broadcaster.ALSECORD wrote:I heard Fox was not renewing his contract due to medical reasons. Any thuth to that? If so i hope things are o.k. I always enjoyed the Wooger's passion for the game. Good guy too!
If they are ousting him, based on his health (if there are issues) that's pretty chickencrap.....
I don't know if its because of his health, but the Wooger is starting to sound more like Sid every game. But then again, my close personal friend GFD sounds more and more like Sid every day.Goldfishdude wrote:I hope that's not the case, too, and that his health is fine.

Maybe Mrs. Body Shots needs to take over for Wooger..... She's got passion!!!! Of course, I would fear for the people on the ice, because I can envision Mrs. Body, ala a WWE Broadcaster, who doesn't like what's happening in front of her, of ripping off her headset and jumping towards the ice.
Just remember, its the only TRUE sport remaining where officials can't decide the outcome.Goldfishdude wrote:You can take that to the bank!!!! I can't make enemies by kissing rear ends!!!

What is Woog's health condition? I think it would be a bad choice if if fsn let him go. I enjoy listening to him and Frank every weekend. Woog tells it how it is. Frank can get a little high and mighty sometimes but Woog brings him back to reality. I hope everythings ok and congrats on the jersey retirement.
