Ordinary Extra – Fresh Start

Ordinary Extra – May 25, 2023. Fresh Start.

Is it me, or do long days seem to run together with more long days? Are long days just long because I am overtired, or are the days just really long? Either way, the day started cool, windy, and bright. Clean. Clear. Crisp. A fresh start.

To My Friend, Ben

May, 2023 – To My Friend, Ben – It was November, 2015 and despite having three older kids that played sports, including varsity sports at Goffstown High School, we had not experienced hockey at GHS… To My Friend, Ben

Thank You Coach Slocum – Goffstown Hockey

Thank you Coach Slocum ~ April, 2023 –

Thank you Coach Slocum, not just for the 16 years. But for the joys, the celebrations, and maybe even a few tears.

Undaunted by adversity, and what others may deem; you were fair and honest. Years weren’t about you, but rather, the team.

Your teams exceeded predictions and set records, the wins they did amass. But nobody can take away your 16 seasons of exuding class.

The program must carry on, but it, I, will miss you. And this winter when I’m in the booth, I hope you’ll be on a beach, with a view.

I know that you would be the last one to do what I am about to do, but this one, Ben, this one is all about you.

So, spring of ’23 and I roll out some words in this rhyme, a Thank You Coach Slocum, words and numbers one last time.

7 Years Not Here

7 Years Not Here

April 14, 2023: I am missing my Dad. It has been seven years. 7 years not here. Dad, I miss you. But, how could I ever question God’s perfect timing. I know you are in your heavenly home and that thought alone makes me smile.

March 20, 2023 – Season of Growth – 2010 Flames – 2022-2023

In a season that didn’t know when to quit, it suited the 2010 Flames (The 2 Team) just fine. Because this team doesn’t know how to quit.

Regionals Weekend – 2010 Flames

March 17-18, 2023 – Regionals Weekend – Tier III – 2010 Flames.

The 2010 Flames season was over last Sunday. Done. Then a team backed out of Regionals. The Flames were called. The Flames went. They played in the Tier III New England Regionals. After a 2-1 record in pool play, the Flames were the odd team out in a series of tiebreakers. The kids played outstanding team hockey and represented themselves very well. It was a great bonus weekend of hockey to finish the season.
