As we spoke about at this year’s 10th annual Wings of Steel golf outing, there is now a place for our kids to keep playing Sled Hockey once they age out of the youth program. This team is called the Flyers Adult sled hockey team, and like the youth team they need help with costs. So, I am starting a golf outing to help support these young adults. Since this is in the infant stage and I am not sure the response I will get, not everything will be the same as the Wings.

When you find, yourself procrastinating it’s best to start by identifying the cause of you doing so. Sometimes there are valid reasons as to why you are putting off the task, could be something we might not have to do.

That lead lasted all of thirty nine seconds as Sean Humes would tie the game at 1-1 for the Quakes.
