Schlitz game Cancelled due to storm!

Schlitz vs. Generals
Thursday 12/13
UMass 9:20pm

Game Postponed by NESHL

Paul gave the word late yesterday (much later than CEO Matt Kilroy) that all NESHL games would be postponed for last night. Good news for sure, given that management let all possible skaters know by mid-day.
Hope everyone had a reasonable commute home yesterday. There have been some horror stories to be sure.
In fact the Blogger's Father spent a tidy 5 1/2 hours getting from Chelsea to Plymouth last night. Some fun.
Anyway, according to the league all games will be made up at the end of the season, so we have that going for us. Its always nice to see our friends the Generals on the schedule, regardless of when it comes.
Remember everyone..... Schlidaveur next week!
All those interested in the Cambridge Lunch and Team Selection Society please inform management immediately. This very special lunch event is due to take place in the early part of the week.
See you then.

Welcome to the Hockey Blog!

Team, friends, opponents, and random wanderers of the digital landscape... Welcome.

In these humble pages do I offer the game stories, mundane facts, stats, and proud tales of our Beer League Hockey teams the Cadavers and the Schlitz.

Can you say something is just a hobby if you do it once (or twice) a week for as long as you can remember? I don't know, but I love to play hockey. We've been playing with one incarnation of this team or another for ten years plus now. We play even if the games are late at night, or on a weeknight (they are usually both), and the kids haven't been sleeping great, and you have to be to work early tomorrow morning. We still go play. Its just what we do to play our game.

Our hobby... or what we do every week, sometimes(mostly) late at night in far away places. Then we like to have a cold beverage and talk about it in the parking lot afterward. Because that's a big part of it to... as you will see.

I got to thinking a while back that we should keep stats. You know, some way to give a story line to the season. So many of them had flown by, it was hard to remember all the things that had happened to the team or teams over the years.

Keeping track of the stats and email conversation threads that went on and on told our story in a new way. Which was cool.
Then I discovered blogger.

The Blog is a perfect forum, in my opinion, to tell our story, and the perfect companion "hobby" to my weekly sport hobby. Each week we get a game story and maybe some fun stories about the game. It works great now with the two teams because everyone wants to know how the other squad did.

So this is the story of our teams and our friends. I hope you find pleasure in the telling of our tales. A good game, a hard skate and usually a cold beer afterward. There are few greater things one can do with their time. At least that's what we think.

Please feel free to comment, whomever you are. The more the merrier I say as long as you are polite... or very funny. Visitors, friends, and opponents thoughts are always welcome. I invite you to share what you have to say. Everyone.

Thanks for reading.
Enjoy.
