Back Again
So back in May I hurt my shoulder – wakeboarding, not hockey-related. That put me on the sidelines for a few weeks, and then I was very busy planning and preparing for a trip around the country with my daughter. …

Afternoon on the Wekiva
An afternoon paddle on the Wekiva today, but no pictures or GPS due to battery issues. Those should be resolved before my next paddle, though. I started at Wekiva Springs State Park and turned onto Rock Springs Run to paddle…
Sunday Clinic
I made it through about half of today’s clinic before leaving the ice with an equipment problem. First we started off skating the face-off dots forward – two reps of that, then another two reps carrying a puck. With the…
Equipment Review
So having used it all for a while and now finally played a game, it seems like a good idea to review my equipment and see what I’m happy with and what I’m not. Maybe decide what order to upgrade…

Monday Clinic
So … yeah … not my most impressive showing at the clinic … On the plus-side, I have a new stick. The old one was wood, no flex at all and cost $19.99. New one’s composite, has some flex which…
