Image of the Week

This week, the guru brings you something special. Almost entirely unrelated from sports, this may be the most unique photo to earn the title Image of the Week. The picture depicts a boy from the country of Lebanon wearing the jersey of Montreal Canadiens star Guy Lafleur. Admittedly, the guru is not completely aware of life in Africa, but from what he can assume, this week's image is far from ordinary.

Who knew Willie Oree's Hockey Is For Everyone campaign was this successful?

This story was discovered by the guru on Puck Daddy, Yahoo's hockey blog. Click that link for the full scoop.

In summary, Africans covet hockey jerseys for their durable material. The high-quality fabric stands up well to the rugged life they live. The jerseys reach Africa mainly by way of donations.

Some of the jerseys would be considered valuable in North America. I know I wouldn't pass up on a Guy Lafleur jersey. It would go well with the personalized autograph I have from him, courtesy of a friend's dad who met Lafleur while playing in the NHL, not bragging or anything.
