Steve Beal Sr.

I am just a man. I am a father, a son, and a husband. I am a homemaker, caretaker, coach, writer, speaker, and photographer. I love God. I love my family. I love my country. God has blessed my family and I, and I am eternally grateful. Author of Generation Jumping: Losing those who are not lost. Downtime with my family is about as good as it gets for me. Being outdoors in nature, among the animals and the wilderness, the Created, comes pretty close. Baseball, followed by hockey, are my two favorite sports, with several others a close third. I would rather do it right the first time. Honesty, respect, and integrity are virtues that I hold dear, so I call it like I see it. Before we as a society attempt to re-define these words, I will be here telling the raw truth.

Goffstown Hockey 2019-2020: Goodbye

Most April’s greet all of us hockey fans a whole lot different than this one did. With all that is going on in the world lately, it has been hard to focus on this hockey season, or any season for that matter. At least for me. In my head, I have been writing this piece for several weeks, or maybe it’s months by now. Actually, I guess I have been writing this piece in my head for at least five or more years. Another high school hockey season has come to an end, well sort of. The 2019-2020 high school hockey season ended for Goffstown on the ice as it did for most others, but the State Tournament semifinalists’ were left wondering what could have happened.

Really Matters





Just when the hours were no longer fitting into each day.

And many nights found me weeping, head in my hands.

Thoughts were reactive and words seemed only for display.

All creative energy was emptied just meeting demands.

2010 Flames Finish Their Season

Finishing a youth hockey season that lasted for more than 6 months, it was remarkable to witness the progress. Even though this team still struggles with spacing, structure, and strategy, I think that is okay for 9-year-olds. The personal growth and development per individual skater is obvious.

Tournament Hockey: Goffstown 0 vs. Oyster River 4

Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH – March 7, 2020:

In a game which featured two teams that prove to be about as evenly matched, as evenly matched gets defined each season, the outcome was decided, 4-0. Goffstown was 13-5 in league play while the Bobcats from Oyster River came in at 12-5-1, and these two teams had split 10 goals, 5-5 in their two meetings during the season. Oyster River won the game, 4-0 but dare I say that the game was closer than the score indicated.
