FEARLESS IN THE FOG ~ The First 48: Part 1

  Where to begin? The past 48 hours has been a blur of interviews, player bios, photos, scrimmages, team meals, public transportation, theft, problem solving, a couple of pints here and there, and nothing short of living the dream…well, chasing the dream at the very least. To say I wasn’t nervous about walking into this [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ Matt Kassian: Defining Identity

Matt Kassian is about as scared of speaking his mind as he is of fighting; which, if you have ever seen the 6’5” 250 lbs left winger for the National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild on the ice, he simply isn’t. Kassian is everything an NHL enforcer should be and he sums up how he plays [...]

FEARLESS IN THE FOG ~ Ready, Set, Play

A week ago I paid a visit to the Cow Palace to see how the Arena and the team were coming along. I walked into a revamped rink, this time with paint under the ice and a huge new scoreboard known as the Colosseo cube. Before I delve too far into how the team is [...]

FEARLESS IN THE FOG ~ FALL 2012

  To coincide with the launch of the 2012 GSH fall line-up, I thought I’d go ahead and introduce you guys to something new! In late December of 2011 I was standing in a used record store in Northern California on the hunt for a vinyl of The Doors Greatest Hits – yes the one [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ Steven Oleksy: Positive Enforcement

If you ever met Steven Oleksy on the street the last thing you would assume about him is that last season he racked up 145 combined Penalties In Minutes – 47 with the ECHL Idaho Steelheads and 98 with the AHL Bridgeport Sound Tigers – and that amongst hockey enthusiasts he is generally coined as [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ GONGERFEST!!!

Well Beauties, the first annual installment of GONGERFEST has come and gone but I am sure some of you are still feeling pretty hung from the gongshow that was Saturday night at the Cabin Ottawa. While two day hangovers are uncommon for those accustomed to the hockey life, it comes as no surprise that if [...]

SIREN 1363: Not Taking It For Granted

On Friday July 20th I woke up in Ottawa in a great mood. I had just completed the first two parts of my great Canadian adventure and was leaving for the airport to head to Toronto. My friend’s little boy Maddox had woken me up by poking me in the arm and informing me that [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ 1972 Revisited

Trying to predict the moments in life that will become more than just a passing event is nearly impossible. What makes one Olympic win more memorable than another? Would the 1980 Miracle on Ice have been a miracle at all had the political situation surrounding the two countries involved been different? Had the US and [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ Never A Sure Thing (SCF Game 4)

If I have learned anything in my years on earth so far, it is that nothing is ever a sure thing. I find this truth of life to be very unnerving and I often am left feeling uneasy and stressed out when I’m not sure how something is going to play out. I get edgy [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ Peace In Passion

Had you seen him at practice that day you never would’ve known that something wasn’t right in the world of David Rutherford. You could’ve stood back and watched him lace up his skates like he always had, run drills with the boys, and practiced the game he was devoting his life to. What you wouldn’t [...]

SIREN 1363 ~ Essential Elements

 There is a science behind everything that makes up this world. Intangible things we cannot taste, see, or touch combine with a spark to give us life sustaining water. Charged particles collide with atoms in high levels of the atmosphere we cannot even begin to reach and set off violent reactions which cause the beautiful [...]

GSG’s Top Ten ~ Red Flags She’s Faking It

Every once in awhile an idea starts to come together that just begs to be brought to life. Recently, through a series of observations and brief conversations on twitter, a plan was hatched to bring something new to the table and to create a forum for us to bring you our thoughts and observations on [...]

Siren 1363 ~ Great Intentions Bad Execution

There is something that happens towards the end of every Hockey season that absolutely grinds my gears. I bite my tongue and try not to say anything about it as seasons come to unfortunate early ends and playoff runs are brought to a close, but for some reason this year I am more bothered than [...]
