Hockey Nerd

This afternoon the Sudbury Wolves will take on the Winnipeg Thrashers for the Telus Cup in Arnprior, ON. It will be the last 2007-08 fall/winter game of the season. Virtually everyone has moved on to spring/summer hockey or their favorite spring pastime. Enjoy!!!

MYHockey covers the youth hockey scene intensely from August through April. It does not, however, follow the spring/summer hockey season. A few of you have forwarded summer scores to MYHockey. While we wish everyone the best with their spring/summer activities, we will not be recording any game scores. There are numerous reasons.

Spring/summer hockey is inconsistent in the rosters, the team names, the amount of information available and the organization in general. Don't get me wrong, it might be possible, but it would be even more difficult than the fall/winter season without the real value.

May through July is a time when I try to take some more time off and step away from the long hours of the hockey season. While it is a break, these days, that break isn't being used as much as a chance to get away from the sport as it is to enhance the MYHockey site. You will notice that this Hockey Nerd column has been published via new blogging software on MYHockey. This will be one of dozens of enhancements that MYHockey will make in the summer months. As these enhancements reach a level of maturity that dictates that they be made available to the general public, I will publish entries right here detailing the enhancements. As I do so, please don't hesitate to send your feedback using the link located right below each post.
