Anyone out there happen to have a lot of extra medical supplies on their hands? Because we are in desperate need of them!

Just how many calories will I burn playing hockey for 10 days? This is a question that I’ve been asked several times and I’ve been pondering the best way to figure it out. You can find an estimate for how many calories one would burn playing hockey for one hour ((Although I had to go […]
So, here’s the deal – I haven’t raised nearly as much money for my big long hockey game to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis as I would have liked. Right now, I’m sitting at about $2,000 raised, which, while very awesome in itself, still only works out to like $8/hr ((For the record, I am […]
