My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
Friday, February 26, 2016. 730pm @ Sullivan Arena, St.Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Goffstown vs. Keene. Last night was Senior Night at the Grizzlies Den in Sullivan Arena as the Goffstown Grizzlies home crowd said goodbye to their three seniors. No matter how big or small the hockey program is, or how storied the history is, or not, it's always a special night when seniors and their families Continue Reading...
I wasn't sure she was out there, I wondered whatever I would do. Then into the room, I peered, my heart jumped, for there, I saw you. Years from then, it’s all mine, this life with you, my very joy. A smile from all-time, restoring the warmth in this romantic ole boy. Continue Reading...
Saturday, February 20, 2016. 830pm @ Cyclones Arena, Hudson, NH - Goffstown @ Hollis-Brookline-Derryfield. By the time last night's game had ended and I got home to start compiling all of this, a new day had started. So, last night Goffstown traveled to Hudson to play the team composed of players from Hollis-Brookline-Derryfield (HBD or Warriors from here on in). The Warriors entered play with an Continue Reading...
Are you a parent? Did you have parents? Did someone ever give of themselves toward your betterment in such a way as to change your life? Do you owe anyone for the piece of them they gave, just for you? Have you even thought about this? Should you do something about it? Do you need a push in the right direction? Well this is what I have come up with, so far. As time rolls on, the memories start Continue Reading...
Thursday, February 18, 2016. 730pm @ Sullivan Arena, Goffstown, NH - Goffstown vs. Oyster River. Tonight, the Grizzlies from Goffstown hosted the Bobcats from Oyster River in a Division II hockey game, with the chances to host a tournament game starting to take shape, on the line. For a couple of teams with nicknames that embody skilled hunters, predators, if you will, this game didn't have that Continue Reading...
Saturday, February 13, 2016. 400pm @ Sullivan Arena, Goffstown, NH - Goffstown vs. Dover. In the end, Goffstown did make the road upset win at Dover stand up. The Grizzlies came out and beat the high-flying Red Raiders of Spaulding High School in Rochester, 3-1. The win raises the Grizzlies record to 7-5 on the season while Spaulding drops to 8-6. With the winds escalating and the wind chills Continue Reading...
Wednesday, February 10, 2016. 645pm @ Dover Ice Arena, Dover, NH - Goffstown @ Dover. This afternoon, it hit me. Not the thought that the Goffstown Hockey Team was finally hitting the ice for a game after a 10-day layoff, but the fact that I would be in Dover again. See, in my feeble mind I attach events, emotions, and memories to surroundings, to songs, to the places where I felt the strongest Continue Reading...
24 Hours In February Thursday I was at my Mom and Dad's house and I was struck by the greenery of the yard, specifically because it was so green, on February 4th here in New Hampshire. The scene was quite abnormal for this time of winter here in the Northeast. The temperature at the time was somewhere around 54°F, which was also an anomaly. Then, on Friday we received 6.5" of Continue Reading...
This is a just a quick follow up to the promotional piece on the Goffstown Hockey Fundraiser. I heard there were some 141 folks present last night for the fundraising event. I am pretty sure every one of the folks had a good time. I realize that next year's event is now one year away, but I can honestly say that I cannot wait for it. Last night was a blast! The food from Steak Out was out of this Continue Reading...
This man I know trudges along on his lonesome crusade It seems at every turn there's evidence, again betrayed He made up for lost time once he figured out what he'd do He's an older gent or I'd say you might know him too The guy beats on, dim-witted maybe, cuz nothing stops him Rising from the hollow, forward despite the forecast so grim Out there limping all alone he looks around just so he Continue Reading...
