We're Toast


Happy 2008, everyone.

I have a New Year's announcement: Effective after the upcoming I-league playoff, this hitching post will go dormant.

For the past two years, BAC and I have worked, more or less successfully, to build a community around adult hockey in Euless. It has served as a watercooler and for fellowship and fun.

We have enjoyed it, and all of you.

It occurs to me almost every time I take the ice: Sure, some of us are jackasses, but the vast majority of people who play hockey are pretty cool, eh? We're lucky to have each other.

So, thanks for the memories.

If anyone out there wants to pick up the responsibility for this blog, send an email to the addresses listed on this page. Tell me why you want to do it and what experience you have with blogging. Show me you can write halfway decent. Maybe I'll turn it over to you.

Assuming no takers, this blog will be done. I'll leave it up for anyone who needs the handy-dandy links.

Cheers,

BC

Rocket skates! Just like in the first Jackass movie, only the bottle rockets would melt the ice...providing at least a decent send-off!

I'm pretty distraught having to had left the Puckers; apparently contact sports are frowned upon during the second trimester of pregnancy.
