Monarchs' Kanko faces assault charge on wife

I have a feeling we'll find out this was blown out of proportion. This is NOT to condone domestic violence, but it is interesting to see how the media is portraying this.

Petr Kanko is my daughter's favorite hero. He has always taken time to have a picture taken with her and he is an inspiration that made her look forward to spending a Father/Daughter night at the Monarchs games. He even took time out during the summer to sign and mail back two 8x10 photos of my daughter, Caitlin and him in their #10 Monarchs jersey(s).he also gave her a hockey puck before a game that she placed on her pillow that night and said "Dad,this is the greatest night of my life". To Petr, thank you and wish you return to Monarchs soon. My daughter wants to follow your hockey career wherever you go. And yes, he is a great player too. In both my daughter's eyes and many Monarchs fans including me. She is now doing a "hero" collage and report this week for school and Petr is the "Hero" to her. Petr if you read this, contact us and she will send you a copy of the report. And don't believe everything you read in the newspapers. Manchester,NH 03104
