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...
Grizzlies Comedy Night
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...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 2 vs. Bow 4
Saturday, January 30, 2016. 4pm @ Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Bow @ Goffstown. After all was said and done, the Bow Falcons improved to 10-1-1 on the season. Goffstown dropped to 5-5. According to records, streaks, common opponents, etc. Bow was supposed to win this game. Ultimately the young, talented team from Bow did win, but this was a battle from the opening Continue Reading...
Goffstown Hockey Fundraiser and Preview
This is a first for me here, a preview of sorts. Okay, and a plea of sorts, for some help from the greater Goffstown Hockey community. First, there is a Goffstown home game tomorrow at Sullivan Arena on the campus of St. Anselm College in Goffstown. The game starts at 4pm and will wind down by 6pm. The NHL All-Star skills stuff doesn't start until 7pm, so there's plenty of time to do both. Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 7 vs. Belmont-Gilford 6
Sunday, January 24, 2016. 330pm @ Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Belmont-Gilford @ Goffstown. Today reminded me of something from a quarter-century or so ago. I remember going to the old Boston Garden, the original barn, and buying obstructed view seats for $10 on matinée Saturday's to watch the Bruins play. One of the things I remember most about those games was the fact Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 2 @ Windham 3
Wednesday, January 20, 2016. 540pm @ ICEnter, Salem, NH - Goffstown @ Windham. I have to say that things didn't look to good on paper coming into tonight's road game for the Grizzlie Hockey team. I mean, Goffstown had just lost back-to-back games by the score of 2-1 in each. They were also headed to play the 6-2 Windham Jaguars. The Jaguars hadn't allowed a single goal since before Christmas, and Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 1 @ Oyster River 2
Monday, January 18, 2016. 430pm @ Whittemore Center, Durham, NH - Goffstown @ Oyster River. Well, maybe it was just me, or maybe it was the bigger ice surface and the big arena where the sound of spirit seemed all but lost. Maybe it was a game played on a Holiday when the regiment of normal days seems to change some what. Whatever it was, it seemed to me that the Grizzlies showed up in Durham, NH Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 1 @ Keene 2
Saturday, January 16, 2016. 5pm @ Keene Ice, Keene, NH - Goffstown @ Keene. The Goffstown Grizzlies came to Keene after a week of practices, playing their first game since blowing out Timberlane last Saturday. As of late, Keene has been red-hot! They entered play with a 6-1 record, and had scored 40 goals in their last 5 games, all wins. Goffstown came in 4-1 in Division II, but is still trying Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 9 vs. Timberlane 2
Saturday, January 9, 2016. 730pm @ Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Timberlane @ Goffstown. The Goffstown Grizzlies seemed a bit anxious to get out on the ice and play another hockey game after a long break between the Bauer Christmas Classic and a home loss to Merrimack earlier in the week. Before getting to the breakdown of the game, I will say that Goffstown did ultimately Continue Reading...
GHS Hockey: Goffstown 0 vs. Merrimack 2
Wednesday, January 6, 2016. 7pm @ Sullivan Arena, St. Anselm College, Goffstown, NH - Merrimack @ Goffstown Maybe it was just me, or then maybe it was a let down from the holiday season ending, but the game seemed to lack its' new game shine. The season is young and both teams entered the game without suffering a loss in Division II regular season play. In the end, Merrimack earned a road win in Continue Reading...
