I’ll get caught up with news soon enough, and there were no food safety issues I am aware of at the Melt the Ice hockey tournament we attended for the last four days.

(Although I am promoting food safety, one tip-sensitive digital thermometer at a time).

The under-9 kids went undefeated (6-0) and the atom majors won silver.

Good effort for 95F days, while many readers are figuring out how to clear their snow.

Many thanks to Rebecca, our team manager, and all the parents who got up at 4:30 a.m. for the last four days to be at the rink (I don’t make schedules, I just coach).

And kids, great effort.
