Tonight was the last Skating for Hope committee meeting before things kick off Saturday morning. I tried to concentrate as much as I could, but I really have been getting stressed, excited, pumped, and worried all at once these past few days. I know it’s the first year of Skating for Hope, but I want it to go well enough so people will want to come back next year. I know it won’t be perfect and will be a learning experience, but it’s hard to tell that to yourself when it seems like you have 94 thoughts in your head all at once. Once I get going on Saturday, I’m hoping the stress will slowly leave. I know once I feel the puck on my stick for the first game, I should be A-O-K.
Some notes on these pucks:
I think the Celebrity Hat Trick puck was a stocking stuffer one Christmas.
I ran down the aisle at warm-ups of a Hockey East championship game one year, and grabbed the HE puck…I think we may use this one on Saturday.
Info on the 2005 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees is here.
Here’s my blog about the “Gahden’s” Last Hurrah.
On October 21st, 2007, the Worcester Sharks had a “Pink at the Rink” game, and I got to drop this puck for the ceremonial face-off (those guys just look a little bigger than me!). In addition to this game, their goalie wore a pink mask for all of October that was auctioned off for a $5000 donation to Hope Lodge.
The Boston College Hockey was the first of my favorite teams to win a championship, when they did in OT on April 7, 2001.
In case you didn’t know, I love the Boston Bruins and they won The Cup this year.
