It’s been a few weeks since I’ve put out a blog post on OGH. I almost visited the rink on Tuesday morning to try out skating but I woke up real early (3:30) not feeling to good. So hopefully in the next few weeks I’ll be trying out the new knee on the ice. Since my recovery has been going well and I haven’t been playing hockey in the…
It’s been a few months since I’ve seen the inside of rink. So I decided to head over to Cyclones Arena in Hudson, NH to visit the guys. Everyone is doing great and the locker room banter hasn’t changed . For those of you who still play hockey or used to play , you know exactly what locker room banter is all about! Didn’t recognize Nev without…
Over the years I’ve met many great guys in the hockey community. The guys I play hockey with, the guys that I coached with for over 25 years of youth hockey. Some of the best times I’ve had have been at the rink. Early morning hockey ….. whether it’s with our pick up groups or the morning league or dragging my kids out the door for an early morning pee…
One of our morning net minders sporting some new threads .. Best dressed goalie in old guy hockey! And may I say, he also had a hell of a game today also!
Got to visit Dan and check out his store on Friday 7/4 up in Kennebunk. Great store in a historic building …. Check it out and visit an old hockey buddy if you get a chance.
Want to thank Lance, Dave, Joe, Scott and who ever else contributed to the wonderful set up we had in the locker room this morning. Quite a variety of post hockey spirits to enjoy. Also thanks Nev for setting up our annual breakfast at Bud’s … Great breakfast as you can see by some of those platters. Great time . Have a great Christmas everyone. I’ll see some of you…
The black team got spanked this morning by the continued onslaught from the white teams offense. Black got out to a quick lead with one early on , but that was it. The final was something like 8-1 …. Ouch! The white team played a tight game all around … good goal tending (Fitzy) along with good “D”. The Black team missed a few good opportunities but couldn’t match whites…
As the summer ends and fall kicks in we usually see our numbers at the rink stabilize as most of the vacations are out of the way. Most of the guys that skate in the morning do so all summer long. We have had a few fishing and golf excursions that lightened the numbers a few times. Thankfully for the leaders of morning pick up and League Hockey…
Old Guy of the Week – This weeks OGH old guy of the week has to go to our faithful Goal tender Ronnie N. Even when he’s not between the pipes (due to an undisclosed injury that kept him from playing, probably a hang nail or something like that) Ronnie always shows up with the drinks and pucks and hangs out and does the score board… Thanks Ron! As the…
Well we all have a great game this week at Conway arena. We were missing a few regulars and we had a few no shows that made the ice time totals feel a little CHARA – esk . Not that I’m whining but extra ice time along with a little more humidity in the rink made it a little tiring chasing around the likes of Gerry, Matt and Jade. Thanks…
