"And we take another step into the truly unknown, don't know why but it's somewhere that we have to go and it's dangerously wonderful" ~Into the Wild, Lewis Watson
You’ve heard it time and time again, but I am a huge hockey fan (shocker!) I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household that’s had San Jose Sharks season tickets longer than they’ve had me, so we get a few perks within the franchise from time to time. 27 years of loyalty got […]
Your flight arrives at JFK at 4pm giving you a whole evening in New York City, what do you do? If the obvious answer isn’t go to the Barclays Center and watch the Islanders play the Rangers, you may see yourself out now. For being a cross-river rivalry the general vibe of the game was much […]
By some freak chance that only the Hockey Gods could throw together, I happened to be in Las Vegas at the same time as their brand new, NHL expansion team’s inaugural home opening game, and you can bet all your gambling money that I was there! I should preface this post by saying this was […]
Mama, I’m makin’ milestones! I can now boast having been to a “handful” of NHL rinks as my recent visit to the Colorado Avalanche’s Pepsi Center brings my total up to five! Though the Avs may not be a team with the, uh… best standings recently… good things can still come from being last in […]

As I’ve admitted before, being a student and employee doesn’t always leave me as free and funded to travel as I wish, but that doesn’t mean I don’t search out new things around me at home! Luckily I […]
When I made my “hockey bucket list” and decided I had to go to a Stanley Cup Final game in my lifetime, it never occurred to me that I would be seeing my home team in contest for the Cup, but life works in amazing ways and I saw the San Jose Sharks battle the Pittsburg Penguins […]
This past December I was in Massachusetts for a long weekend and there was no way I was going to travel across the country and not see a Boston Bruins hockey game. Now that I am home, what is there to say about Bostonians and their love affair with ice hockey? It’s intense. Even walking in Boston Commons […]
In honor of todays start to the NHL 2015-2016 season, I am excited to announce my latest project- Stadium Stories! At the age of 11 I started going to my dad’s weekly adult league hockey games, and thus began my love for hockey. I would keep stats, take notes and hang out with the guys […]
