Hockey Locker Talk 3
The conversations that take place in the hockey locker room are typically inappropriate in our normal civilized society. But these same conversations are key to fostering a bond between grown men that fills a need not provided by marriage or relationships. That is why men need that time away from the wife or the girlfriend ...
Maple Leaf fever (or flu)
The Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t been so hot this year, and they are on the verge of not making the playoffs, unless they can pull off a miracle. They haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1967, so fans have been very patient with their team. I think most fans gave up on the Leafs a ...

Hockey results
My first hockey game was a lot of fun. It felt great to get out on the ice for the first time in 5 months or so. We won 2-1. But the interesting part about the night was that I successfully transported my entire hockey equipment on my dirt bike 70kms along the QEW from ...

NHL Player Lockout
It looks like the NHL and the NHLPA may not come to terms on Player’s contracts. I’m going to be very upset if a lockout happens. Hockey is the one thing I look forward to in the winter. With the extremely cold weather, there’s nothing better than sitting inside a warm house watching a hockey ...
