Finally

  Growing up in Northern Ontario didn't lend itself well to being a Bruins fan.  Hockey is part of life and has been for nearly 20 some odd years.  Although I learned to skate when i was 3 years old, I didn't pay much attention to hockey until I was 9 years old.  To my family and the community at large, hockey is to us as football is to Texas; its a way of life, not just a sport.

  I need to credit my friend Roger for getting me into hockey and up until this year, despise him for turning me into a Bruins fan.  I was never able to watch any live games unless they played the Leafs or Les Canadiens, and internet was not around so I wasn't able to feed my habit all that often. fast forward 11 years and as fate would have it I move to Mass and find myself able to watch all the Bruins misery I can handle.  Until redemption.  My beloved Bruins took home Lord Stanley.  The party's were great and it was an awesome journey through the playoffs with all of my friends.  The 2012 season will be starting in a little more than a month and I cannot wait to see the boys back at it.

New Beginings

The intro, the hook, the reason you stopped by.  Not sure if this will qualify but here it is nonetheless.  The opening post to my new blog.   I attempted one a few years back and lost interest in the social media world quite quickly and found it hard to keep up with.  Time changes many things and however minor the changes may be they are there.  I look forward to having a place to share my experiences, triumph's, failures and general what have you's.  I hope everyone finds this place interesting and I encourage all to make return visits and bring along your friends.  This is a place to talk freely, to have an opinion and have it count for something.  I think this is going to be fun.  Hockey season is quickly approaching as the summer has taken its turn towards fall and that means plenty of Bruins talk as well as the start of football season.  Pull up a chair, sit back, relax, grab a beer and let the good times roll.
