Slapshot Striptease - Just because.

Where does the time go?

Seriously, where does the time go? It's already Saturday, October 30 and I haven't bought Halloween candy or even put up any decorations. Well, I hardly put up decorations anyway so that's no big thing. What I *have* been able to do, however, is write. Just not for this blog!

Here's a link to a story I wrote for Hockey Independent, about Hockey Fights Cancer and the first ever #Hashtag battle between two NHL teams to raise money for charity: "Fighting Cancer, one hashtag, auction and game at a time." -> http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/motleysu/25004/

I have some good features in the works and can't wait to share them with you. In the meantime, tell me which WHL teams are surprising you right now, whether for good or bad.

Also... GO UAH CHARGERS!!!!!

From the Rink

This is just a short update to talk about a weekly column I'm writing for the website FROM THE RINK. FTR is part of SB Nation and staffed by some amazing hockey writers and an awesome editor, Mike Chen. I'm very honored to join their ranks. I'm covering the WHL for them right now. We'll see how things go.

Anyway, here's my latest offering for them:

Thanks!
