Sorry to have to say it folks, but…. Bourne’s Blog is taking a break for Christmas. I’m spending the holiday with Bri’s side in New York this year – my first away from my family, EVER, at age 28. Impressive, hey?
I’m really looking forward to it though, she’s got a fantastic family too. Thanks so much for the support this year, it’s been a great start to the season. Check out my latest for Puck Daddy – on why I think the Coyotes attendance will go up here in Phoenix – and most importantly:
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
I’ll be back writing on the 28th, I’m thinking. I’ll still be submitting all my daily columns to Puck Daddy, The Hockey News, USA Today and Hockey Primetime, so be on the lookout for those.
You can follow me on twitter if you want to know what’s going on in my world. Somehow I’ve accumulated 3,400-plus followers, which is insane.
I’m thinking Callum McCarthy may post 4-5 times while I’m taking my little Bourne’s Blog leave, and why not? He’ll do it for free, has some good ideas and writes well.
Again, enjoy your winter, and thanks so much for all the support!
I'm a hockey player turned writer. After playing for Alaska Anchorage in the WCHA (NCAA), I carried on with an NHL tryout (New York Islanders in 2007) before spending a couple seasons in the AHL/ECHL (last year was 2008-09). My father, Bob Bourne, won four Stanley Cups with the Islanders in the '80's, as did my fiancee's dad, Clark Gillies. I'm now the web editor for theScore's hockey blog "Backhand Shelf."
Dang. I was hoping to get some commentary on the Coyotes-Tom Fenton signing that happened in New York. Pretty cool deal!
JB, you and Bri have a wonderful vist and don’t give a thought to us JB-blogaholics out here going thru withdrawal. Oh, I kid…
Hey, who’s watching Mr T while you are gone (or is he with you?).
Happy Holidays everyone!!
Oh and nice work on the Yotes column – *I* am pumped by it and I live in San Diego! So glad they got the ownership et al issues settled and that they team will stay (and being happy for you is only part of it
).
Of course I love the AZ desert and still have plans to take my mom back (she used to live there before moving here) and hit a Coyotes game.
Enjoy the holidays! Sound like you have mastered the art of familial sharing during the holidays……well done.
Have a Merry Christmas.
What the hell, nothing about now legendary Isles goalie Nathan Lawson making his debut?
Like DonSack said, nothing about “Nate the Great”? He made a few good saves, but allowing that third shoot out goal is a tough way to lose your game.
