If it helps in any way, I know there is a Grammy Award
winning singer (Jorge something or other) performing
at the All Star game, so this guy may be telling the
truth.  Since the game is in Florida, I think the NHL
is trying to involve the Cubian community in the
festivities.  Who know, look what an impact the
Jamaican Bob-Sled team made on the Olympics - maybe
the Cubians will sponsor an NHL team in the
future....Walt
