Knights and Klaatu, there is a connection

London and Sarnia play hockey to ring in a new year
A blog is meant to be about information and entertainment, or maybe entertaining information.
Instead of writing about local real estate or an upcoming community event, here's a look at my homework tonight -- looking back to 2002-03 and the tradition of the London Knights playing a home-and-away series with the Sarnia Sting to bookend the end of one calendar and the start of the next calendar.
Not to give away all my research, here's a list that depicts how the Knights lead the series 13-8-1. Yes, back in 2002-03 there was still something called a tie in competitive hockey.
I'm not a fan of awarding a point for losing in overtime, but that's a topic for another day.
As someone who listens to Alan Parsons, Moody Blues, ELO, ELP, Jethro Tull, Kansas and Supertramp, I'm currently re-discovering Canada's Klaatu, which was also a progressive rock band of the 70's. The connection here is that I'm listening to music while I do my homework.
When you enjoy the YouTube link, it is easy to see how music buffs thought Klaatu was the return of the Fab Four:
