So, apparently, according to the million (slight exaggeration) hockey-related people I follow online, Goon has already come out in the Philadelphia/East Coast area. I asked weeks ago if I could review it on here. But it’s not released yet where I live in the middle of the country even though I live within a decent drive from Chicago which does host a hockey team, one that isn’t irrelevant. Okay, so I’m terribly annoyed. But as I cannot do a thing until it comes out (end of this month) here. So until then, here you go. And yes, I’m excited about …

The original motivation for starting Flyers Faithful was a simple one. Over the years of participating in hockey forums and discussing hockey with friends and colleagues, it became apparent that there were incredibly talented people with brilliant hockey minds who did not have a venue to share their insights. Given my background as a web development and in journalism, I felt that I could put together a site that would give them such an opportunity. It was an honor to have people I greatly respected respond with great enthusiasm about helping me launch Flyers Faithful, but what soon followed really …

Sarah Baicker and her CSN crew graciously came out Monday night to film our pub quiz fundraiser for the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation at Fado. Here is the video they produced from the event: Editor’s note: I am on a poorly self-imposed social media hiatus while I recover for the chaos of the past few months.

At some point a few years ago, when I was still in grad school, my mom called me to tell me that my brother was sick and wanted to know if I thought they needed an appointment with his doctor. He had been extra tired for a few days and had some headaches and body aches and a slight sore throat but thought that maybe it was just his busy schedule between sports and school and his girlfriend. That day he had spiked a pretty good fever of 103° F, his throat was very sore and his glands in his …
