Game 7 vs. South End Jr. Stars
Even though South End has been struggling to get a regular season victory, they had ripped it up in the Westfort Tournament going 3-1 in the round robin and beating the Canadiens and the Maroons and on paper, they have a much better roster than their record would suggest. The also have a couple players [...]

While I don’t like losing, sometimes it’s a necessary evil. Most of the time you learn more from a loss than you do a win. You also have a tendency to dwell on a loss more than a win. That probably has something to do with why they’re so educational. We always tell our players [...]

It’s shaping up to be a busy couple of weeks. With us playing (hopefully) six games in the Westfort tournament and with regular season games and practices bookending it, we will have a possibility of 9 games and 2 practices in a 10 day stretch. Round Robin – Game 1 vs. Westfort Rangers We faced [...]

Today I was at my parent’s house and I started helping my mom go through some old stuff that I had: old boxes for software I no longer use, boxes to old Apple products including an iPod I had stolen from me, assignments from University, and various issues of Photoshop Magazine. It was some good [...]

Game 2 vs. Westfort Rangers: Wake-up Call It was a battle of two former Hurricanes goaltenders as Michael Cookson (now playing for the Rangers) and Jared “Red” Foulds (better nickname pending) backstopped their respective teams. We called up an affiliate player, Matthew Ray of the Bantam AA Maroons in ...

Picking Up Where We Left Off Just like our last game of last season, we were facing the Fort William Canadiens. To repeat the experience even further we learned that John Zurkan would be travelling to Florida for a wedding and would miss our first few games. If you recall, John missed the series against the [...]

We try to keep in mind that this is only pre-season but we received a lot of positive signs from this early match. We ended up winning our game with the Beavers 7-1 but rather than go over the play-by-play as I usually would, I’ll highlight just a few players. I could probably talk at [...]

If you’ve never purchased insurance for a business, my advice is to shop around. This might seem like common sense but I just want to press the importance of it in the case of insurance. It’s not like shopping around for a laptop where you might save $100. I’ve gone into insurance dealers and brokers ...
