Boston Marathon tragedy

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of those injured and affected by the explosions at the Boston Marathon today.

I'm saddened and angered.  Why would somebody do this?  It's supposed to be a fun, friendly competition.  Yet it is an event with worldwide exposure and a lot of eyes were on Boston today.  Whoever did this knew this and planned this attack very carefully.

But let's be careful to not jump to conclusions.  We don't know who did it.  We don't know why.  We don't know a lot of details yet.  We need to be patient and let the facts speak for themselves.  Whoever did this will eventually get caught and brought to justice. 

The most important thing right now is to give our support to the people affected by today's events, regardless of where they live, their religion, their nationality, etc.  We need to pull together!

2x Champions!

My hockey team, Back2Black, won our 2nd league championship last night.  We defeated the Renegades 5-0 to win our best of 3 series 2-0.

After Thursday's game was postponed due to problems with the ice, both teams were anxious to get on the ice and get things going.  And we did.

It was a better game than the score reflected.  Both teams played hard.  Both goalies played really well.  One of our goals was  a great shot from the point with a screen in front of the goalie - he never saw it coming.  Most of the others, including mine in the 2nd period, were result of hard work and great effort. 

Things started to get a little chippy in the 3rd period.  Penalty minutes started piling up and we could tell the Renegades were frustrated with how the game was going.

It was a great win.   I definitely had a lot of fun this season.  It's a great team to play for.  While I'm the least experienced and the youngest on the team, I couldn't ask for a better group of guys (and girls!) to play with. 

Go Black!
