2018 Quality Raised Garden Beds
So, an innocent conversation with friends last year, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether or not they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into a woodworking project that has continued this year.

Goffstown Hockey 2017-2018: Sign of the Times
It was three weeks ago now, and in my mind, it went something a little bit like this. As the maestro held his baton high, coercing the grand finale in all of its glory, the final note played.

Despite dropping their final two contests, the Grizzlies did win 14 games in the regular season for the first time in their program's history. Windham jumped out to a 4-0 lead and the hole was too deep for the Grizzlies to climb out of and overcome, but that's not the whole Continue Reading...
Hockey: Goffstown 2 at Keene 8
One of the beauties of sport is that competition brings opportunity where something has to give. People can talk, stats, results, and personnel can be compared on paper, but in truth, it's only after having contested in the sport that we really know. Last night out at Keene Ice, the Keene Blackbirds hosted the Goffstown Grizzlies on Keene's Senior Night. It was NH Hockey's Division II #1 vs. #2 in Continue Reading...
Hockey: Merrimack 4 at Goffstown 5

It was also Senior Night, a chance to recognize Goffstown's 5 seniors on this year's varsity squad.
