Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings on winning the Stanley Cup! They were the #8 seed in the west, meaning they were the LAST team to get in. As a Hurricanes’ fan, I know what it’s like to flirt with that #8 seed. Unfortunately, the Canes have had some bad luck recently. The playoffs are…

Saturday could be a big day in American History as I’ll Have Another has a chance to win the Triple Crown in horse racing. I have hockey practice, but you can be sure that I’ll be glued to the television as soon as I get home. My family has always had horses and my mom…

Those who know me know that my favorite activity during the spring and fall is going to a Carolina Hurricanes game, but what can you do during the long North Carolina summer while dealing with hockey withdrawal? Well there are many baseball options here with Minor League teams and they used to be my haven…
