Derp... Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nice, kind of strange to have the big names like that in Tofino, but I'm sure they will respect the place being from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ex-Buffalo Bills and ex-Sabres have been opening up restaurants in Buffalo. Pretty cool to see ex-Canucks do it there too. Some players just form a close bond with the fans of a team(s) they play(ed) on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type R Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nice, the Wet Coast of the Island has been getting a lot of love from the celebrities and ex-Canucks, and rightfully so! Willie is a gem, and we are lucky to have him here. I'm surprised Hammer was involved in this too, didn't know that they knew each other that well?

DeNiro Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Willie and Dan need to be brought back into the organization at some point. Both proud BCers and quality guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Tofino needs housing, even if its south of the town. During the Summer there's no places to stay. It's great they want to keep a small town feel, but they seriously need to look at more residences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great they want to keep a small town feel, but they seriously need to look at more residences. Most of it is national park. i like it the way it is or better yet. The way it was. If you have been going there a lot over the years you'll have noticed how much of the area has been altered to accommodate infrastructure for the rising seasonal populations. Overall tofino was a pretty chilled out place but for the last ten years or so the summer crowds are insane. Fortunately I now live on the island so when I go for waves (not many in Summer anyway), I can just drive home. The campsites are always booked and way overpriced. There are still a few bush spots but you need a vehicle with clearance and a chainsaw is a good idea in winter and spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehdee Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I live very close to Tofino, and I can tell you. Those stuck up pricks would never describe anything there as blue-collar. So I enjoyed that very much Willie, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those places that you either love it or you don't, Willie does. He's building a house there so he can hang with his good buddy Brendan Morrison who has had a house here for a long time. I think Dan just sees it as a good business move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
