A Rare Elation To Savor
This morning, we know no Curse. How often have we been able to say that? To what extent does victory like last night’s serve as lasting balm over the scabs and scars from so many springs, that have marred and maimed our … Continue reading
Here’s Hoping
Mostly, I hope the Legend who selflessly and at no small personal sacrifice answered George McPhee’s plea back in autumn leaves the Chinatown rink this evening savoring unique triumph, as the bench leader of the crest for which he too … Continue reading
Another Famous Call from Boston
While we don’t quite wish for overtime drama involving our team in the Stanley Cup playoffs, we welcome the merry messaging it can deliver, as with Saturday evening’s game-ending call from John Walton.

The A’s Grueling Grind, and a Carousel of Goalies
The Hershey Bears (39-21-1-4) dropped a shootout decision in Portland, Maine, last night. Let’s just hope their bus driver is fresher than the skaters he’ll convoy through week’s end. When John Walton told me last weekend that beginning Saturday night … Continue reading
Fresh Imagery from a Great Old Barn
On every visit to Hersheypark Arena, as more and more evidence of its physical decline confronts me, I find myself compelled to snap stills of its architectural charm for posterity. I don’t know how much longer we’ll have it. I … Continue reading
Tip of the Cap Back at You, Hershey
It’s a day for hearts, and for hockey hearts in D.C., one of heavy hearts, as puckheads here wonder: where is our team’s heart? Up the road a bit, in Hershey, as ever, there’s plenty of hockey heart. The Bears … Continue reading
