Welcome to my site. I am happy to finally have it up and running. This is my first blog attempt...so, please bear with my punctuation. And my style of writing. I like to write the way I think or talk. I hope I can make it fun and an interesting source of information about hockey and whatever blogging draws out of me.

I had hoped for a better ending to the season but as a team we just made some critical errors down the stretch and we came up short. Leaves me with a very bitter taste because I was given a lot more responsibility this year and we didn't make our team goals.

Right now I am hanging in my hometown trying to catch up with friends, family and rest. So far I am starting to feel a lot more energized and have returned to the gym to start getting back into shape. As a skinny guy I can't just sit around and wait to train... I have a need to be working on something at all times or I get a little antsy.

I will be trying to blog here more consistently but if you want up to date thoughts during the playoffs check in at maximonline.com for a special playoff blog. It should run through the Stanley Cup final.

You can also tune in to Maxim Radio on Sirius Satellite radio on Wednesdays at 11am eastern time. I will be on air with Stretch talking about the playoffs and whatever topic we stumble on.
