Hockey (and Donut) Blog: This AmeriCanadian Life

Hockey (and Donut) Blog

Thanks to the AMHL (as in 6:30 A.M. Hockey league) for prompting me to launch this site: your portal to off-beat hockey (and donut) stories.

My mission here is to celebrate and to serve: to share the splendor of hockey; to entertain, if not to enlighten; and to kindle, if in only myself, kindness. And to foster forgiveness.

Apparently there are other Canadian spies--this one an excellent writer living in...well, I'll let you figure it out at This AmeriCanadian Life.
