So, this is my first attempt at this. No doubt, things will get easier as I keep up the writing, but for tonight, I'm still trying to figure it all out. So please... be patient.

I'm married, 2 kids, 3 service dogs at home, and a huge collection of hockey books. That's something you'll discover as the days go by; I'm a huge hockey nut. Whether it's reading about the game, following the sorry state of the NHL, or going to our local team's games... I'm keeping up with it.
Living here in Portland, OR... we don't have an NHL team close by, but we do have the WHL, the Western Hockey League. It's a developmental league, and the players are aged 16 to 20 years old. They're trying to get seen by the pros, get drafted, and move up the ranks.

There's a lot going on around here, but I'll try to keep it fairly simple for the most part. No one wants to read when I ramble.

That's going to be about it for the first post, thanks for your patience. Hang in there... things will improve by the day.
