Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, blog readers.
The Bourne family Christmas, for the first time ever, is taking place in Phoenix, Arizona (missing Dad and Aunt Kathy, I must mention). And to further the stereotype of the unprepared male, I need to do some wrapping. The blog will be back in action Monday the 28th. Until then, I’ll be spending time with the family. Hope it’s a good one for you and yours!
Tiger Woods sits down on Santa’s lap to ask for his Christmas presents. As he sits down, Santa goes “Ho Ho Ho!”
Tiger goes “Where Where Where???”



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 a columnist for USA Today, Puck Daddy (Y!), The Hockey News and Hockey Primetime.com.
