Too lazy to check the schedule, but I know the Fam will be in West Palm/Orlando for the Holidays. Hope to see Pepin play while we're in town. If not....we'll have to rely on something from the Panthers or Tampa (wishful thinking).

Oh yeah I know I use to watch this guy every year when he use to play for Maine. However, his fight card does include Devin Didiomete,Myles Stoesz, Mike Liambas, Harry Young and an up and coming guy David Broll in the OHL. But yes, im not expecting much out of him.
