  • Hopefully you will find this a fun read-let me know...

    I wanted to thank everyone for your feedback and encouragement. It has been suggested that I change the name because people were concerned it might be a spam link...so I've changed the title of the blog and the link to:

    Old Time Hockey: My life as a hockey player, dad, coach, fan and referee
    http://oldtimehockeyfornow.blogspot.com/

    I originally started the blog while on an adventure to Mexico to visit a shaman who was supposedly going to heal my back.. I was fairly skeptical but went anyway and kept a journal of my trip. Feel free to go back and read it if you like....people seemed to enjoy it...

    My relating my hockey experiences from just kind of happened and I kept getting requests for more so I've kept writing. It's been a lot of fun and I will continue until I run out of stuff to say that I hope will be worth reading.

    thanks again.

    Steve

          Been enjoying your adventures, Steve.

          Growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, hockey was as foreign to me as it was to you in Florida. The University of Denver changed all of that.
          GO DU !!!

              I added a new chapter. It takes an unexpected turn, but in a decade or so it comes back to all hockey, all the time;
              Senior league, tournaments in Europe, youth, prep, junior and more college hockey. I hope you will be patient with me.

                Good Lord, I added you as a contact, sshablak@aol.com. I had a Siberian husky, have serious back problems(herniated discs, stenosis etc) and am a financial advisor. Played college(SUNY Canton) where we were National NJCAA Champions both years I was there. Played ten years of semi pro and some in the NAHL, sound familiar ?

                  Yes but are you as good looking as me? Just kidding. What a small world. Do I owe you any royalties on this saga?

                    Found my 1975-76 ECAC Hockey guide. A lot of defunct teams and a lot of rinks that had not been built yet. My son's college coach was a freshman @ BU (but he did not dress when BU visited Clarkson ).

                    Oh yea -- you're listed on the UConn roster.

                      Can you send me a picture of the uconn roster. I'm trying to get my hockeydb stats updated. But I'm missing 74-75 and 75-76. If so send to cosmo46@earthlink.net

                      Thanks.

                        Enjoying this, forgot to also say my name is Steve S. And, I played against the Johnstown Jets and the famous Carlson Bros(goons). Tell me you had a customized Ford van or a Celica and I'll take some of those "royalties".

                          I did own a celica at some point in the 80s! Too funny.
