The much anticipated email from the freshly-minted captains of this year's end-of-year WOHL tourney were sent yesterday. And the verdict is...White is the new Blue. Yes, I'll be trading in my blue sweater for a white one late Thursday night. White looks solid, really solid. As much as I'll have blue tatooed on my chest …

Happiness
It was a crazy long hard weekend of work. Not many hours sleep and a fair bit of angst that go hand-in-hand with a large system conversion I have been working on with a client. Monday, the morning-after, is always ugly even when such an event goes well and today was no exception. However, …
Down Goes Blue
Red took us down tonite 5-3. We'll be ready next time. We may have to make a move at the trade deadline though as they appear to have been built just to beat us as we start to see the Golden Boot on the horizon.
When Your Mom Dresses You
Last night's game for Blue had an interesting twist before we even hit the ice. We were clearly missing a few player moments before the game, a development that seemed a little weird given that the missing warriors had not informed me they would be away. Suddenly the door opened and in came the two …
Down Goes Blue
We played hard and fought back from being down early but the pumpkins had us on this night and we lost 4-3. Hate those guys. Chad the new guy (sparing for someone) felt really bad that he took two penalties. I mean he felt really bad and must have apologized six times. We all …
When Your Line-mates Start Being Called “The Sundin Sisters”…
...it's not a good thing. The Martin brothers have gone by the nickname "the Sedin twins" since beginning of this half in the W. Daniel and Henrik have had a bit of a brotherly squabble going on throughout the past two months, much to the delight of their teammate. At times, there has been …

Blue Steals One Late
Tough one tonight but Blue kept rolling into form and scored late and then added an empty netter to win 5-3.
This Isn’t Normal and Why We Are Lucky Here in Canada
At our game last night in Elmira, a teammate who is a well-traveled cat made the comment about how lucky we are to place in such a fine facility. He travels so much he hasn't had a chance to play all that regularly over the past few years and he marveled about how nice it …

When Time Isn’t Your Friend
The lace you've been meaning to change is bound to break when you are in the biggest rush. It's the truest of Murphy's Laws applied to hockey. Tonight, I was in a grand rush to get to my 9:00 game in Elmira because, as luck would have it, my brief after-dinner, pre-game nap turned into a …
When You Can’t Remember Last Week
Ok, confession time. This entry is being written almost a week late. My iphone app tells me Red beat us 3-2 on the 4th, that Brian and Bart spared for us but beyond that, there are no other clues and I cannot remember a thing about the game. I'm going to have to add …
