Does anyone know how to get in touch with Jon? I want to talk to him about his kids hockey. If anyone talks to him please let him know I am looking for him.

Thanks!!

Yea, me too. We need to go to Galvin's for lunch!

Actually, I think his kid is on the same team as the son of a guy here at work. I'll try to contact him this way. Thanks for reminding me.

Boys, What is going on? Man it has been a long time since I have been on here. Thankfully I have good friends that still get me out on the water from time to time.

Hockey sure seems to be controlling my life right now, but it is all worth it to see the young boy doing what he loves to do. We have talked about getting back into fishing and that may happen, However I probably won't jump back into the tournament thing anytime soon. Two very expensive interests and a not so good economy leads me to pick Hockey over the fishing. After all kids are young only once and the fish will always be there (I hope).

Last year he played for the Green Bay Jr. Gamblers which is a Teir 1 AAA program. That is a very committed level of hockey. We were in Ontario a few times, Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis and more. Had some great times on the road and met some really great people even a few former and present NHL players. The highlight of my last season was meeting Corey Stillman's wife (plays for Florida Panthers), she introduced me to several other players wives (Keith Tkchuk, St. Louis Blues) and I sat with all of them for a game we played against the team their boys play on. The other Dad's were jelous. My son became friends with the young Stillman boy and they keep in touch thouosands of miles away.

Let me know how all of you guys are doing. It is great to hear from you and I would love to come see you guys at a weigh in some time.

Take Care,
Jonny Rocket

Jon,
Sounds like you are having a great time enjoying the kids. I remember way back when you were talking about parking the boat and changing your direction.
Best of all to you and your family, but I do miss the tips you would pass on to me:)
Take care,
Jim O
