I’ve often wondered what the average IQ is on a pro hockey team. Do they fight because they can’t control their anger, or is it just a tease, to draw crowds to the games. Check out this video from a Manchester Monarchs game, featuring forward Kevin Westgarth punching out Philadelphia Phantoms’ Jeff Szwez.
If you drove by Spaulding High School last night, you probably slowed down for a second look to see if that mud wrestling going on last night in the pouring rain. After all, the guys were caked with mud from head to toe, and the ladies were standing along the bleachers to get a glimpse of the action.
Are you looking for a winter baseball camp for your child in southern New Hampshire? My son, Brandon attended the camp below, before the start of his last year in Little League. He convinced himself he would work hard and make the NH Grizzlies 13-year-old traveling baseball team. Well, he did, and he’s now on [...]
Push! Push! Push! After all, don’t you want your kid to go pro?

There’s no better time of year to be shooting outdoor sports than in the fall. It may get a little chilly covering games in late October and November, but the colors around the fields are so brilliant.
There are many positives to growing up in a small town. The opportunities are more plentiful for athletes where the populations are larger, but the sense of community and closeness of friendships is stronger where I grew up, in Whitehall, Wisconsin.
Are you looking for a Halloween costume idea? How about dressing up as your favorite athlete, with a little humor thrown in.
**How about a Brett Favre costume. You could “pass” out treats instead of receiving it. If you’re anything like him, you’ll definitely throw the candy in the wrong hands!
**Tom Brady would make a good Halloween character too. No need for a uniform there. Just limp a little, and make sure you are accompanied by at least one woman (preferably pregnant).
There’s almost nothing better than sitting at the ballpark for a wet, cold and windy baseball tournament. You know the kind, where the rain blows across the field sideways, the hot chocolate is cooled off by the time you walk back to the frozen metal bleachers, and you’re wearing so many layers that you look like a sumo wrestler!
