In Parker We Trust

I don't have a picture to share of myself and Coach Parker. I don't have any emotional anecdotes or funny quotes to tell. I'm pretty sure I've never even had a one on one conversation with the man. I'm not a reporter. I don't work for him. I certainly have never played for him. I haven't ever tried to reach out to him.

But the news of Parker retiring was a harsh reality. Even before he uttered the sentiment himself, I found myself repeating over and over and over again that it just couldn't be true. This man that I have watched for three seasons cannot be calling it quits. Not yet.

An Ode to Women

I'm pretty sure I knew close to nothing about Boston University Women's Ice Hockey. Scratch that, I knew nothing. The only thing I could definitively say is, yes, we had a women's team.

But I showed up to Walter Brown Arena on October 15th, 2010 nonetheless. Not much later, I showed up again.
