About

While a freshman at UMass the author had only been to a handful of hockey games in his lifetime when he walked into the Mullins Center on October 30th, 1993 to witness the rebirth of the Minuteman hockey program.  Sadly, being a college hockey neophyte, he was thrilled to see his triangle-clad team dominate such a big name program like Vilanova.  Luckily in the years since he has actually learned something about the sport.  He has been fortunate enough to watch hockey in over 30 different venues from Calgary to Tampa to West Springfield (yeah that’s right, AIC’s Olympia Ice Center).

When not at UMass hockey games the author can usually be found somewhere on the Mass Pike between the Mullins Center and his South Shore home or perhaps at the local beer snob bar discussing IBUs and fine hops from the Pacific Northwest.’
