The news today that former Oilers owner Peter Pocklington was arrested in California isn't, in itself, really all that surprising. This report from back in December gives you an idea of what's been going on with Mr. Pocklinton since he left Canada in 2002.

James, I’ve been reading you for a few years now but this is the single best article I’ve ever seen you link to.

If you ever see Brent Jang in the news room or whatever it is you journos hang out in, please tell him that at least one news hound loved this piece. This is what journalism should be about.

As for the article: do you know the names of the “Edmonton journalist” that is writing his book?
