Dear Santa....

I think I've been a pretty good boy this year. Anyway, here are a few things I want for Christmas:

1. I WANT ONDREJ ROMAN PLAYING HOCKEY IN SPOKANE!!!! Hopefully you didn't find that rude, Santa, but I've been waiting for this since the season starts. Also, it is Ondrej's dream to play hockey in the NHL, and that is hard to do when you're in Europe. This has to happen by January 10th or he can't be added to the Chiefs roster. Please, free Ondrej Roman.

2. I would like the offense back to playing at the level they are capable of. It's not good that our defensemen are getting more goals than the offense. Bowman, Wahl, Johnson, Koper, and McCrae have all been good but they all have room for improvement. I would also like to point out that making the first item on the list will help this item.

3. I would like the Chiefs to make a trade for an offensive player. I know this kinda falls under the second item on the list but I felt I had to list this separately. I have noticed that Lethbridge has been dumping some if their players but still has Zach Boychuk. He would be a fine addition to the Chiefs. Maybe the Chiefs can trade Bret Bartman, Cory Baldwin, and a gift card for the Olive Garden to get him.

4. I want the WHL officials to learn the rules of hockey. Especially Papp. There's gotta be a hockey for dummies book you can send him. Make sure the book uses small words and had lots of pictures.

5. I want Tri-City to start losing. I don't necessarily want to be terrible, just to lose enough that they're looking up at us in the standings. That also means the Chiefs need to win on the 27th (I REALLY need that one). Please let them win that one. My sister is going to that game. She needs to see them win. We all need to see them win.

And lastly, I want the Chiefs to repeat as WHL champions. Get them back to the Memorial Cup. I'll even make them promise not to break the cup this time.

Anyway, I hope this is not too much. I'm sure you can make all of this happen.
