The awesome thing about working in education is having the week off between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Bragtastic, I know, but the older I get, the more I relish the time.
Last intersession, I was stuck in my apartment recovering from an awful case of bacterial bronchitis and its complications. I used that week to sit on my couch and write for hours on end. I produced one of my best received pieces ever during that week (Boston Hosted The Last Tuesday NFL Game, In 1946) and got to cover the the New England Patriots being stuck in my hometown of Rochester, NY after a snowstorm interrupted their travel back to Massachusetts (Snow Way and Patriots Trying To Get Back to Foxboro).
I love using my intersession week off to be a full-time writer – it’s the only time in the year I get to do so. With that in mind and no crazy bronchitis this year to derail me, I’m using the intersession again to write away. But I can’t possibly just sit in my apartment. I would go stir crazy. I have tentative plans for Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday I’m working for the Boston Herald. But Thursday is wide open.
Thus, I’m offering my services to cover any college hockey game in New England on Thursday, December 29th, free of charge (unless you want to pay me, then of course, I’d take payment.) I want to travel, and someone has to need a college hockey writer. Right? Right. Consider it my holiday present to the college hockey world.
Here is some work I’ve done covering college hockey in the past. I haven’t had the opportunity to cover much this season because of my full-time job, so that’s why I would love to cover a game on the 29th.
