My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
-Goffstown Grizzlies Hockey- Lessons On Ice - January 11, 2025 The Goffstown Grizzlies Hockey team trailed, then came back and led. Then trailed again, came back and led. Then they trailed in the final two minutes and scored to send the game to OT. On a night that turned into a month worth of on ice lessons, the Grizzlies fell in OT. I do believe they will be better for it though. Continue Reading...
-Goffstown Grizzlies Hockey- The 2024 Brian C. Stone Memorial Christmas Hockey Tournament Grizzlies Win Twice at Christmas Tourney - December 26-28, 2024 The Goffstown Grizzlies Hockey team was once again the only NHIAA Hockey team from Division 2 in the annual Christmas Tournament played at JFK Memorial Coliseum.

Three Mistakes - Goffstown at Merrimack - December 16, 2024 I thought the Goffstown Grizzlies were the better team on the ice for most of the night. But most of the night didn't equal an opening night victory. Continue Reading...

Death has come yet still it clings to life, and from one to many, each of Continue Reading...
Saturday - March 23rd - Update on NH Spring Training 2024. NH Spring Training 2024, I was looking over my roster for Saturday's action. I walked onto the field of battle and discovered that I had very little traction. A contest was to be decided and I had to find the answers in the players I had.

Woods Haiku In the woods I walked. Conversation I did have. Though nobody talked. On this afternoon, the wind was whipping through the trees. Then silence would fall over the scene like someone hit pause. But a tumbling leaf crashed through the hemlocks and pines, and the silence was broken by death falling to earth, to start the cycle again. Continue Reading...
March 17, 2024 - One Day All Together - 2010 Flames - 2023-2024 Imagine a day when the entire team is in uniform together to make their final stand as the family that they have become. Then, for one day all together they unite, perhaps like never before. Banded together, as only a family can, they appear as one mass of skating, skill, and effort. They beat, shift after shift, as one heart, and Continue Reading...
