Friday Geek Out: Chelsea Challenge

Starting tonight I take part in the New York City Gay Hockey Association’s Chelsea Challenge for the eighth time! My first time was June 2002. I’d played maybe a half-dozen games by the time the Challenge rolled around and I was scared playing that year. I was on a team where I didn’t know many [...]

The Great Sakte Break-In of 2009

Wintery Dreams: Pond Hockey

I’ve been hearing about the film Pond Hockey on and off for the past couple months and finally watched the trailer today. The documentary looks amazing and I’m putting the DVD on my Christmas list.

NYCGHA featured on CBS News on Logo

As part of the coverage of the New York Times story on hate speech at Rangers games, Logo did a story and I got to become part of the background (I was interviewed, but my sound bites didn’t make the story). They filmed last Saturday after the Wizards/Hegemony game. I can’t embed the clip, but [...]
