This one goes out to the help. The volunteers. The community. The common thread found among a group. Maybe it's a passion that you didn't realize you had, but you couldn't stay away knowing that things needed to be done right. I know I have said this, maybe too many times, over the last 15 years, but I believe it, it's all about the kids. So, when we get put to the test to host a baseball Continue Reading...
It's Alright to be Impacted by the Game
Sometimes I stay up quite late just so I can let my mind run away from the real, and approach subjects that I would much rather touch, or certainly feel. Then there are times when I lengthen the day just to wrestle free from the noise, you know, to get out from under the distractions, and that which just annoys. So, what. So I can prove that, maybe, something good happens after midnight, and I Continue Reading...
Grizzlies Hockey ~ A Season and the Impact
Grizzlies Hockey ~ A Season and the Impact It's that time again; a time I have yet to learn how I should better handle. It's the end of the season. Ugh. I do not like the end of the season. Let me put it in my own words, and see if anyone else can relate. I know that I don't always make sense, but I'll give it a try. This might take awhile, but hey, it's been 105 days and counting, until the Continue Reading...
NH Avalanche – Spring Classic #1 Tournament Champions

It's spring, there is a renewed sense of the seasons, new growth, and maybe it's time for some head shots. I may stretch so far as to say there has been an ample sampling of class-less behavior, which could be misconstrued as a spring break of sorts. But this isn't about Continue Reading...
NH Avalanche 2000 – The last month
Since the last write-up I posted regarding the 2000 NH Avalanche Bantam Major Elite quite a few things have happened. Christmas and New Year's have come and gone. High School hockey seasons have started. Kyle Greer has joined the roster and his offensive skills have been noticed. Today I will try to recap a few things here and get set for the remainder of the season. The last game I reported here Continue Reading...
Thanks #25 (Sports)
I am thankful for sports. I have spent thousands of hours playing, practicing, teaching, watching, and dreaming in sports. Through sports I learned disciplines. I learned teamwork. I learned respect. I learned how to get along with others. I learned what it meant to be a part of something bigger than myself. I learned how to compete. I learned how to win and lose graciously. I learned motivation Continue Reading...
The Team
Baseball undoubtedly will fill lots of space on this site. It's what I know, it's one of the things I dearly love. Today is about team. Just team, baseball team, any sports team, work team, whatever team. I know from team's I have played on, and more team's I have been close to, that there are not many things better as a player than being able to look up and down your bench and know that they all Continue Reading...
