Time For A New Tag

Hard to believe I’ve been on my new blog for what, a month and a half now, and haven’t yet had the opportunity to tag a post with “hockey” yet. (Cue happy smiles from the majority of my readership! :-)) But I happened to be at a meeting tonight when my iPhone made that very […]

Blackhawks Win 2010 Stanley Cup

The best part is that the Toronto Maple Laffs now have the longest Stanley Cup drought in the NHL.  And the way that team’s going, the Kitchener-Waterloo Blackberries have a better chance of winning a cup before the Laffs do!
