Calgary Flame center Conroy inspires team wing hunt

In the middle of a very tough day -- the Hawaiian insisted on more non-wing meals, doubling back to Plattsburgh added an extra two hours of driving to our trip, sleep deprivation and deep-fried eating hit me like a sledge-hammer to the gut -- team wing hunt was cheered by a surprise meeting with Calgary Flame center Craig Conroy, a native of Potsdam whose wife is from Watertown.

Conroy told team wing hunt that the only way to get through the pounding of a tough road schedule is to stay strong mentally.
