THIS WEEKEND PAST, AS MENTIONED, I TRAVELED TO the Boston area with my grandson, Hugo, for the Eastern Hockey League (Juniors) Combine event. The combine is for scouts and coaches looking for talent for their teams. Hugo is already signed to a team but went to the Combine to be seen and to get up to speed (literally) at the Junior level of play-he’s 17 playing with 19/20 year olds. Hugo made an impression with coaches and scouts, many of whom were sorry to hear that he was already signed to a contract with an EHL team. His Combine team won the Combine championship with Hugo contributing 3 points-1 goal / 2 primary assists-of his team’s 10 goals in the tournament.
In any event, I spent a lot of time in the rink, in the hotel, and in a great Irish pub. However, while I was away from home, our neighbor’s house, along with 3 vehicles, burnt to the ground (picture made by the wife from our front porch). The wife discovered the fire and called 911. The family was away on vacation so there was no loss of human life but their 3 dogs perished in the fire.
