Arrived In Spokane…

A nice sunny drive up the Gorge and into Eastern Washington this afternoon.  I don’t want to jinx the team, but so far, the travel, while quirky and strange sometimes with the schedule, has been really pretty good as far as weather goes.
This is another quirky weekend with games in Spokane tomorrow, Kent on Saturday [...]

Monday Update…

Another tough weekend for the Winter Hawks as they battled hard for two games against Seattle and Tri City, only to come away with losses.
Saturday night, especially, was tough to lose after out-shooting Seattle and dominating large stretches of the game.  The Hawks battled back from one-goal deficits on three occassions, but couldn’t get over [...]

A Rare Friday Night Off…

During the 2008-09 Winter Hawk season, the team has three Friday nights off (not including the Christmas break), so it seems strange to not have a game to prepare for tonight.
So, instead, I’m heading to a poker night with my buddies…it will be a nice diversion and who knows, maybe I’ll bring home some extra [...]

Frustration…

I think everyone surrounding the team is feeling it…including me…after another loss on the road where the Portland Winter Hawks suffered a lopsided score.  This didn’t look like the same team that knocked off the Kelowna Rockets on Monday afternoon.
I’m sitting in my hotel room in Sumner, WA, not having to ride the bus back [...]
