Alright, this may not be very interesting to those of you who live in Calgary or attend lots of Flames games, but this is a pretty interesting new tradition in Abbotsford.

A few of the fans here in Abbotsford have started a new tradition called the Turtle Club Award. The way it works is that every time an opposing player "turtles" in a fight against one of our players (which seems to happen a lot), he will be forever called a turtle. So, whenever he touches the puck we chant "TURTLE!!"

The Turtle Club Award website has been started here: http://abbyheat.blogspot.com/p/turtle-page.html

I know this isn't huge news, but for a new team trying to build a fan base, this is a good start for developing some kind of tradition (i.e. The C of Red).

edit: Just so everyone knows, I DID NOT create this site.
