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…
Goffstown definitely took more chances to make plays in the third period, and they would end up getting 13 shots on goal in the final stanza.

Honestly, this roster will be better for having competed in the Bauer Hockey Christmas Classic. They gave Hanover all they could handle for 41 minutes before the Marauders broke through. They are capable. They are learning. The youngsters now have 9 games under their belt, including scrimmages, and I look forward to watching this team develop in 2016. The youngsters from Stephen Provencher to the veterans in Holt, Roy, and Greenwood will keep working. They’ll keep bonding. They’ll continue to develop and there will be wonderful moments on and off of the ice for the next couple of months.
Goffstown versus Bedford, always draws a little more attention. The neighboring towns have established quite the rivalry through athletic contests over the years. Well, today the hockey rivalry was renewed. Bedford is considered by most to be one of the top teams in Division I NH Hockey, and to start the season, they have done nothing but cement that notion, winning all three games they have played thus far. Goffstown on the other hand, well, they aren’t making anybody’s list of anything worth listing this year in Division II. Lists are also made to be re-written. Goffstown knew they were playing one of New Hampshire’s top teams.
Bauer Hockey christmas classic Saturday, December 26, 2015. 6pm @ JFK Coliseum, Manchester, NH- Goffstown came to JFK Coliseum after a 9-1 drubbing of Pembroke-Campbell on Wednesday night. Of course, everyone was coming off…
Before the game started, the voice of the Division I State Champion Football team, Al Potvin, announced that proceeds from the gate and the 50/50 raffle were being donated to a trust fund that helps the Carlson family pay for medical bills. So, after the ceremonial puck drop with two-time cancer survivor (and still battling), Maddie Carlson, it was time for some hockey.
Somersworth came into the game at 1-0, after beating Oyster River 3-2 in their home opener. As the teams lined up and the National Anthem was sung, the beauty of not knowing what was going to happen next was in play.
The varsity hockey team from Goffstown High School opened their season on the road, in someone else’s building. But, you must start somewhere. As the teams skated to warmup in the pregame skate, it was obvious that things come a little harder when the schedule flips and the games start to count. The student body from Winnacunnet pressed, in numbers, against the glass directly behind Goffstown’s goaltender, Colin Holt and wanted to make their presence felt. Let the games begin.
St. Anselm College, Sullivan Arena, Goffstown, NH (12/12/15)- As you might guess here in New Hampshire, approaching mid-December, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the lawns are all green, and the temperatures climbed…
St. Anselm College, Sullivan Arena, Goffstown, NH (12/9/15)- Let me start by saying that I did not get a game sheet from the game last night so I may miss some details and certainly I will…
St. Anselm College, Sullivan Arena, Goffstown, NH – I suppose it must start somewhere, and as far as ‘keeping track’ goes, the 2015-16 Varsity Ice Hockey Season started tonight for Goffstown High School with a scrimmage…
I did tell one friend and former colleague, that I wished I could just call an impromptu meeting in my office and have all of us there one more time, together, bringing all that each of us represents into that room, to see each other as we are, and enjoy some funny story, or laugh at ourselves as we often did. Oh, to look across that space and see the faces, the people, the efforts given for a common goal, and to know that we would see them all again. All of them again
Back in the first week of November I took a stroll off of the beaten path along the Piscataquog River in Goffstown. I thoroughly enjoyed this walk/hike on a beautiful fall day. As always, I wish I could walked this area some 200-300 years ago to see it as it was then. I think I’d like to canoe through these parts the next time I pass by this section of river.

In researching online, some local trails to pursue, I came across the Kuncanowet Town Forest and Conversation Area. I am so glad that I did. This area is, in my opinion, breathtakingly beautiful. I haven’t…
Walking some local Goffstown trails were more than enough for a NH fall foliage fix.
Just a few photos from my phone. I took these while walking on the New Boston Rail Trail.
One of my favorite places.
Happy Mother’s Day Mom! One night a couple of months ago, I was tired and my mind was overflowing. I needed at least a little downtime and some quiet. I sat alone at my keyboard,…
Pray pastor, please continue to pray, so I don’t have to raise my head or open my eyes. I wish not to wipe my eyes, nor do I care to address the shortness of breath…
I love walking in the woods. Although I don’t make the time to explore the woods as often as I would like to, I am always fascinated by the things I see, hear, and experience…
A little snow doesn’t stop us; at least, not for very long. Our 14 year-old was on the ice, Bruins game on the radio, the twins were playing in (as well as eating) the snow,…
I venture out into another cold winter’s night, Warmed by memories and this reality of cozy white.
The wind whips the snow against the windows I hide behind Now snow drained clouds drift overhead, flat light I find Then I notice in the distance, blue sky encroaches this scene With it, the…
Photography 101. There are many things in life that I treasure and one such thing, or place, is the peace and quiet along side a remote forest stream.
Since I am close to the folks and facility at Play the Game in Manchester, NH, I have decided to post this copy from the www.gottahittowin.com website to my blog. There are several more College…

Yes, over the last several weeks, my snow blower and I have become rather close. But today I think it went a little too far. After another day of clearing snow from my nearly 400’…
Looking east at a near full moon, just before midnight. It’s not the best picture, but I thought it was pretty.
The temperature was 21 degrees Fahrenheit. With the 10-20 MPH winds, the wind chill made the temperature feel like 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snow was almost up to my knees, and even higher when I…
